Here are three fast abs exercises that you can include in your ab workouts: the butt-ups, hanging knee-raise, and the exercise ball pull-in.

Butt-Ups

Assume a push-up position, with your forearms flat on the ground and your elbows bent at a 90-degree angle. Arching your back slightly out, lift your glutes up, squeezing your abs tightly as you go for a high bridge position. Keeping your back arched, slowly lower back down to your starting position. Repeat.

Hanging Knee Raise

Grab a bar and hang from it with your legs straight down. Taking care not to swing, slowly raise your legs using your abs as you flex your hips and knees. Continue this movement by flexing your waist until your knees are on a level with your shoulders. Lower your knees down to starting position. Repeat.

Exercise Ball Pull-In

Assume a push-up position, with your lower shins on top of the exercise ball. Roll the ball towards your chest by pulling in your knees, all the while keeping your back straight. Finally, roll the ball back to starting position by straightening your legs, squeezing your abs in the process. As a beginner, whether you’re looking for exercises to lose weight or simply looking to make fitness workouts a part of your lifestyle, you can very easily feel like you’re swimming in a sea of information on workout exercises and routines.
