Fitness Expert Included Elbow Plank in Top 3 Ab Exercises for Beginners
Fitness expert Denis Solomin named the three best abdominal exercises for beginners. His words are quoted by Sport-Express.
The specialist included the bar on the elbows in the top 3. He emphasized that during the exercise it is necessary to twist the pelvis towards the chest due to the tension of the press in order to avoid deflection in the lower back. It is noted that you can start with 10-20 seconds at this point and gradually increase the time.

Another useful exercise, according to Solomin, is reverse twisting, which keeps the muscles in tension for a longer period and especially affects the lower abdomen. To perform, you need to lie on the floor, press the shoulder blades and lower back to the floor and arms extended along the body. Raise your legs so that your hips are vertical and your knees are bent at a 90-degree angle. Next, you need to pull your knees to your chest, following your hips, tearing your buttocks and lower back off the floor, then slowly return to the starting position.
In addition, the specialist recommended the “dead bug” exercise. Starting position – lying on your back, arms extended up, legs raised and knees bent at an angle of 90 degrees. The lower back is pressed to the floor, as the trainer notes, it is important not to tear it off throughout the exercise. Next, you need to lower your left hand to the floor behind your head and at the same time straighten and lower your right leg so that both limbs are almost parallel to the ground. Then return the limbs to their original position and repeat the movement with the other arm and leg.
Previously, trainer Robin Behl named the best exercises on the couch for stretching. The trainer suggested that you start by placing your foot on the couch with your knee touching the floor. Next, you need to linger in this position for ten seconds, which will remove the heaviness from the knees.
