1. Sit-ups

Yes, the dreaded sit-ups. It's the one exercise that every trainer makes seem easy, but once you start it is a struggle. It is the best for those looking for abs. It really works the core and eventually, if you keep going it will be easy to do.

2. Crunches

Crunches are not to be confused with sit-ups. They look similar, but with crunches, you are just moving your upper body. There are so many variations of crunches.

Flutter kicks is a great exercise for the abs and glutes. It helps to tighten the lower abs while firming the glutes.

This is definitely one that I use a lot. It helps to keep the core engaged as well as the upper and lower body. It helps to engage the mid-abs.
