Easy Quick Ab Workout - Beginner!

This easy quick ab workout can be completed in about 10 minutes. It includes three of the best ab exercises, one each target the upper abs, lower abs and obliques. This easy ab workout is designed for the beginner or the more advanced trainer that only has a few minutes to get in a quick ab workout.

The first exercise in this quick easy ab workout is the standard crunch and targets the upper abs. You should do two sets of 10 reps each for this exercise. For each rep, use a 2 counts up, 1 count squeeze, and 2 counts down tempo.

Follow the crunches with leg raises (sometimes called leg lifts) to target your lower abs. Again, you should perform two sets of 10 repetitions, using the same count structure as the crunch for each rep.

The final exercise, oblique crunches (often referred to as side crunches), target your obliques and round out our easy ab workout. Perform two sets of 15 reps each. Again, use the 2-1-2 counting scheme for each rep.
