3. Full roll up
Have you ever heard about the full roll up? This pilates exercise is guaranteed to make your abs burn. Go lie down on your back with your knees slightly bent and your feet on the floor. Stretch your arms out to the front and suck in your bellybutton to lift your torso from the ground in order to sit up. Stretch even a little further before letting yourself fall back again until your shoulders are once again touching the floor. Repeat until a minute has passed. Burn baby burn!
4. Tabletop heel tap
This exercise is mostly for your lower abs. This is how it works: lie down on your back with your legs up in a 90-degree angle. Let your heels go down to the floor and let them hover just above it. Alternatively you can tap the floor lightly with your heels. Hold the position and make sure that you keep your lower back on the floor. Bring your knees back to the starting position above your hips and repeat the exercise.
5. Bicycle crunch
You’re probably familiar with this one. Lie down on your back and fold your hands behind your head. Place your legs in a 90-degree angle above your hips. Tense your abs, stretch out your right leg, and turn your torso to the left. Then switch sides. I bet you that you will start to feel those lats.
