Abdominal Workouts for Couch Potatoes Who Want to Be Sexy

Since we cannot fight against the allure of a favorite soap or talk show, we might as well work around it. You can still enjoy the show while doing home abdominal workout exercises. One of the best workout exercises for coach potatoes that love to be in the reclining position are abdominal workouts. Modern coach potatoes need not look like the old couch potatoes. Those lean stomachs you see on TV can belong to you too.

Below are my favorite abdominal workouts:

1. Knee-to-chest Lower Abdominal Workout –Sit at the edge of the sofa and use your hands for balance and to support your body. Next, lift both of your knees to your chest as you exhale. You should feel your abdominal muscles contracting.

2. Bicycle Abdominal Exercise - Lower yourself on the floor and position your body in a standard sit-up position, with your hands behind your head. As you lift your body, perform the bicycle motion by bringing your right knee close to your left elbow, and then your left knee to your right elbow. This is one of the most effective total abdominal workouts, so make sure to do this during commercials!

3. Squeezed Abdominal Workouts - While watching TV just squeeze your abdominal muscles. Imagine as if you are trying to push your belly button to your back. Repeat this at least 25 times or to the point of fatigue. You can even squeeze your ab muscles to the pace of the sound effects of the action sequence in the movie. Repeatedly doing this exercise over a few weeks will result in stronger ab muscles.

4. Standard Abdominal Crunches - While watching the business news or entertainment news program try to do some standard crunches. Lie down on the floor, bend your knees, and plant your feet firmly on the floor. Place your hands behind your head and lift your upper body to your knees, by using your abs and without lifting your feet of the floor. Do not let your shoulders or chest do the work, focus to make sure your ab muscles are the one working. You will feel the crunches after a few slow repetitions if you are performing the exercise properly.

5. The Plank Workout - Save this one for commercial breaks because it makes the unfortunate demand of requiring you to take your eyes away from the TV. So to do this exercise, position yourself face down on the carpet floor. Put your forearms near your head and near each other on the floor. Push down with your arms, elbows and your toes to lift your body off the floor. Keep your body aligned and do not look up to avoid hurting your neck.  Maintain this position for around one minute or as long as you can. It is normal to feel the intensity of this exercise in your abdominal muscles in just 15 seconds.

So if TV entertainment is too irresistible for you and you cannot stay away from your high-definition TV or home theater, these exercises will help you maximize your TV time. It is old-school to think that you cannot do more than one thing at a time. You can multi-task and combine fitness with your entertainment. So e-mail this article to friends and relatives who are old-school couch potatoes.
