At Home Workouts: Killer Abs and Core Stability

Andrea, with Workouts on Demand takes you through a series of core stability mat exercises that will give you amazing abs in just about ten minutes. You will need a paper plate for the last exercise in the series.

Start in a tabletop position, hands under your shoulders and knees under your hips. You will extend an arm and opposite leg out fully and hold. Then Andrea will show you how to use a small range of motion to lift them. Then you will lift your toe off the floor, and balance between your knee and hand. Switch and do the opposite arm and leg.

Next, Andrea will demonstrate a forearm plank position. After holding, you will increase the difficulty by alternately tapping your knees to the mat. Then you will alternate extending arms and then lifting legs. Make sure you remain parallel to the floor.

The side plank is the next exercise. After the initial hold, Andrea will show you how to do a hip tap and then a side crunch from this side plank position. When you finish one side, you'll switch to the other.

The final exercise will be back in the forearm plank position, this time with the paper plate under your toes. You will use your abs to slide your toes in, lifting your butt towards the ceiling.
