5 tummy toning exercises you can do in your bedroom

Ab exercises on bed

Before you jump out of bed and get carried away with your everyday life, why don’t you stay in bed for an extra 20 minutes and do some ab toning exercises? A mattress has a slightly unstable surface which is great for core strength, improving balance, and toning abs.

Before you begin there are 5 things to remember before exercising ...

  1. Start slow
  2. Quality not quantity 
  3. Mind-to-muscle
  4. Don‘t overdo it!
  5. Warm-up

  • Intermediate: 3 sets of 20
  • Advanced: 4 sets of 25

♬ House Music(815721) - Pavel

Lay on your back, hands under your bottom to support your lower back, keep your lower back pressed down to the floor so that there are no gaps between the floor and your back. Extend your legs out straight so your heels are around 3 inches off the floor and raise one foot above the other alternately. Keep your core tight and keep breathing.

How many should you do: (each kick is a repetition)

  • Beginner: 2 sets of 10 repetitions or 2 sets of 10 seconds
  • Intermediate:  2 - 3 sets of 15 repetitions or 2 sets of 15 - 30 seconds

    Plank

    @fitboutiqueltd

    Planks are a perfect ##coretraining exercise. Start on your knees and progress to feet. ##exerciseathome ##core ##fitboutique ##skullleggings

    ♬ House Music(815721) - Pavel
    Lay on your front, face the floor, put your weight on your elbows and knees, keep your back flat (don’t stick your bottom out), engage your core and don’t forget to breathe, hold….

    To make it harder, come off your knees and go onto your toes. There are many variations of a plank, but one way to make this exercise even harder is to raise one leg.

    How many should you do: 

    • Beginner: 1 x 30 seconds
    • Intermediate: 2 x 30 seconds
    • Advanced: 4 x 30 seconds
