Top 5 Bodyweight Exercises For Your Abs

Today I’m going to give you my Top 5 Abs Exercises that target your abs.

Normally I’d say the best bodyweight abs exercise is a decline push up but I want to target on exercises that are going to hit this area almost exclusively to give this post a different twist.

Surely you’ll find an exercise on here that you haven’t seen before that you can implement into your home exercise workout routine today.

1) The Catepillar

This is a killer that works pretty much everywhere but your abs are the main focus. Give it a shot. It’s like a hover on steroids.

2) Elephant Side Plank

Strange name but a super effective exercise that really nails your obliques as well as your abs, lats and shoulders.

3) Hand Walks

These can be done on your hands, like the name and the video suggests, but you can also do them on your forearms – similiar to the Catepillar exercise above.

4) 1 Arm Hover

The video here shows you just holding the arm out extended but you can also move your arm in and out for a bit of variety for a really effective 1 arm hover extension.

5) Rockin Hover/Side to Side Hover

I’m cheating here by giving you two variations of the usual Hover exercise.

Cranks the usual Hover exercise up a notch and really targets your lower abs.

What would you say is your favourite targeted ab exercise? Please don’t say crunches!

And if you’re not sure why sit ups and crunches suck you need to click on the link and read that post!
