Abs Strengthening Workout!!!!

Breathe freely and deeply during each core-strength exercise. Focus on tightening your transversus abdominis, the deepest abdominal muscle and the one you feel contracting when you cough. Repeat each of these core-strength exercises about five times and gradually move on to. 10 to 15 repetitions.

1. Russian twists: performed for 10 reps per side. Hold a weight with both arms for resistance. Twist your torso to the right side until your arms are parallel with the floor. Move back to the starting position and then move to the opposite side.
2. Kettlebell windmills: a great compound exercise with some much-needed rotation, just like the russian twist. Bend your hip to one side. Slowly lean until can touch the floor with your free hand. The kettlebell should be held over your head at all times.
Reverse the motion and repeat.
3. Hanging leg raises: hanging from a chin-up bar, raise your legs until your legs and torso from a 90-degree angle.
Do this exercise with a little twist, rotating my legs side to side.
4. Barbell ab rollout: place a barbell, loaded with 5-or-10-pound plates, on the floor in front of you so that you are on your hands and knees (as in a kneeling push-up position. This will be your starting position. Grip the barbell with both hands shoulder width apart.
5. The plank: plank helps develop overall core strength and stability. Hold yourself up using both elbows in the prone position and hold the position for as long as you possibly can. Also, incorporate the side plank into your ab routine, which is basically the same as the normal plank, only you lean on one elbow at the time and switch sides to hit both your left and right oblique. Rinse and repeat.
