You just never seem to have any time, and the idea of being able to make it to a gym is so far fetched that it seems laughable at best. Indeed, your life appears to be spent in front of the computer. Nonetheless you dream of having the perfect, model ready, 6 pack abs body. Think it’s impossible?

Let us show you some easy abdominal exercises that you can do in your own home, and you will be on your way to having the body that you want.

• Crunches

Crunches are an exercise for the upper abdominal muscles. Most people know how to do them, since it’s a basic exercise, but may not realize how effective they really are. To do crunches, lay on a flat surface with your hands behind your head or crossed over your chest. Squeeze your ab muscles, lifting the upper part of your body, hold it for two seconds, and then slowly lower yourself back to the floor. Your movement should be controlled and flowing between the lifted and relaxed postures. Make sure you use only your ab muscles to lift–don’t tense up or try to lift with your neck or shoulders. Doing that may cause injury.

• Side Crunches

They are yet the same as prevalent crunches, delete that the impressive seat is on the irregular muscles which are also called cherishing handles. It also uses the same wise, only that you are crunching to each aggregation of our abs. This would fire the sides of your abs.

• Lying Leg Lifts

Leg lifts targets the muscles in the lower part of your abdomen. Lie flat on the floor on your back, as if you were going to do the crunches. Then lift both legs off the ground. Keep them between six and twelve inches off the ground. If you need leverage to help keep your feet elevated, place your hand under your buttock.

Adding weight to your exercises can increase their effectiveness. Many stores carry small, padded weights that can be worn around your wrists or ankles.

• V- Crunches

Form a “V” with your body. Start by sitting on the floor (or on a bench). Reach behind you and, using your hands for support, lean backwards until your back makes a 45-degree angle with the floor. Keep your back straight and lift your legs to a 45-degree angle.

• Cat stretch

If you’ve ever seen the way a cat moves while stretching its back, you’ll understand how good this quick and easy exercise feels. Start on all fours on the floor, take a deep breath, look straight ahead and relax all of your muscles. Thrust your back upwards as far as possible and tighten your abdominal muscles. Feel free to close your eyes here – your cat certainly would! Count to five and then lower your back again. You should be lying flat on the floor to start. Place your hand next to your head and then raise your knees so they’re at a 45 degree angle to the rest of your body. Then make a “pedaling” motion with your legs, as if you were riding a bike.

• Standing Side Bends

Standing side bends can help the elimination of fat in the abdominal muscles. For this exercise, you should be standing upright, stomach sucked in, hands by your sides and legs straight. Lean the body from left to right, making sure that you do not rotate your hips, all the while keeping the body facing forward. Side bends include a diverse range of exercises, one of them being the torso twist. In this exercise, the focus is on rotating the upper body from left to right, with legs straight, rather than bending side to side.
