Did you know that doing more crunches actually involving a twisting motion, like the bicycle, heel taps, or cherry picking, will shape up your abs faster and quicker. The twisting motion will challenge your core at all angles rather then just a up and down motion. Try this workout below to challenge your abs in sitting and standing positions.
10 Minute Ab Workout
1 Minute--Knee Raises with Opposite Arm
This exercise is basically doing crunches while standing up with a twisting action from the opposite arm. You will feel this exercise in your obliques. The object is to pull your knee as high as you can and bring the opposing arm to the knee cap on each side. This will cause a slight twist in your abs. Focus on keeping knees up and where the crunch feeling happens. Stay pulled up and balanced. Do this exercise at a moderate pace. Get your heart rate up.
1 Minute--Plank
View picture below, and hold for 1 Minute.
1 Minute--Bicycle
View picture above (left), lie face up on the floor, arms behind head. As you switch legs try and focus on connecting each opposing elbow to the knee. Do this at a light and steady pace. Focus on your abs.
15 Woodchoppers on each side
View the picture above (right), focus on twisting at the core and lunging to the floor on the opposing side. Don't get in a habit of using your momentum to twist (this may cause injury).
1 More Plank (You have one more after this in this routine)
Hold for 1 Minute
1 Minute--Russian Twist
This exercise is very similar to the bicycle. The only difference is during the times that your legs are bent your going to pass a medicine ball through. Its tuff but you can do it.
