Sit ups
The most popular abdominal workout is the sit up. It’s tried and tested over decads of use to be a proven way of increasing the strength of and therefore toning up the abdominal muscles.
Start by lying on the floor with your knees bent up and your feet flat on the floor. Bend your arms and touch your fingers to the side of your head, but don’t clamp your hands behind your head, your hands are there only for balance, not to help with the sit up movement.
Curl your body forward, tensing your stomach muscles so that your head comes off the ground, hold at the top for a second then lower yourself back to the floor. If this is hard, you can make it easier by resting your hands on your thighs and sliding them up to your knees as you curl yourself forward. When this becomes easy, move your hands back to the head.
