Sit-ups are great for strengthening the core but doing sit-up after sit-up gets a little boring and it's important to mix up the moves you use to train your core. With this in mind, we've found a five move ab workout that is sit-up free and equipment free. It not only builds core muscle but it also contributes to developing better posture.
Bodyweight workouts like this one from popular online trainer Kayla Itsines are great because all they require is you showing up. There is no trek to the gym required, no setup equipment needed, and also no complicated moves to learn. The one extra step I do like to include when I do an ab workout like this, is to roll out one of the best yoga mats to make the workout more comfortable and protect my joints from the floor.
Just because there aren't any weights involved, doesn't mean you can be more slack when it comes to your form. If you want to stay injury free and increase your strength gains, executing every exercise with the best form possible is key. Luckily, Itsines has demonstrations available of the full routine which you can view below.
