Today is part 3 of 4 in my Top 5 series of favourite bodyweight exercises. If you’ve missed the first 2 parts you can see my Top 5 Upper Body Exercises and Top 5 Lower Body Exercises using your own bodyweight.
And while normally I’d say an exercise like a Decline Push Up, Up Down or Squat work your abs best – even with no equipment, today I’m going to give you my Top 5 Abs Exercises that target this particular area.
1) The Catepillar
This is a killer that works pretty much everywhere but your abs are the main focus. Give it a shot. It’s like a hover on steroids.
2) Elephant Side Plank
Strange name but a super effective exercise that really nails your obliques as well as your abs, lats and shoulders.
3) Hand Walks
These can be done on your hands, like the name and the video suggests, but you can also do them on your forearms – similiar to the Catepillar exercise above.
4) 1 Arm Hover
The video here shows you just holding the arm out extended but you can also move your arm in and out for a bit of variety.
5) Rockin Hover
Cranks the usual Hover exercise up a notch and really targets your lower abs.
Just missing out in a photo finish was the Russian Twist which is also a really good all over abs blast.
What would you say is your favourite targeted ab exercise? Please don’t say crunches!
