00:00Hey, I'm Jonny Costano and I'm going to show you five of my best ab exercises that can be done
00:05anywhere, anytime.
00:13The first exercise is a sit-up. We want to make sure that we're in a good starting position.
00:19So feet nice and aligned, parallel, chest nice and tall.
00:23When we're coming down, we're trying to focus on an eccentric.
00:26So we're coming down nice and slow. Too many people are bouncing through the motion that they're not engaging in
00:32their abs.
00:33So nice and controlled on the way down and then keep it nice and tight.
00:48Exercise number two, dead bug.
00:50When I get into a tabletop position with the feet, you can see here my chest is nice and elevated.
00:55There, I'm engaging my abs and all I'm going to do, I'm going to lower one leg and then return
01:01back to the middle.
01:02So I'm trying to make sure that my abs are always switched on.
01:06And focus on that breathing technique. Inhale, exhale. Tense those abs.
01:19Exercise number three, Russian twist. Nice and parallel.
01:23I like to do this exercise starting off with my heels rested on the floor.
01:27Too many people are doing this and swing through the motion.
01:30So we want to be nice and tight.
01:31All I want you to do is rotation, back to the middle, and then rotate.
01:36So flex your abs as hard as you can.
01:39And once you've developed that, then I want you to elevate your heels and rotate.
01:44Try not to swing. Boom. Control.
01:49And if it gets too hard, just drop it back down.
02:00Exercise number four, V-tuck.
02:02Hands on the side, elevate your heels.
02:05You're going to push out and then you're going to be in the middle.
02:08We're trying to create that crunching motion.
02:10So we're lengthening, crunching.
02:12So we're putting that core under tension and then using the hands to maneuver back and forward.
02:19Chest nice and tall.
02:31Exercise number five, Plank.
02:33One tip I always recommend is keep your elbows aligned with your shoulder and not round them around the motion.
02:41So we're going to elevate.
02:43Boom. Nice and straight.
02:45No hub or bridge back.
02:46Just nice and straight, guys.
02:47And then tense your abs.
