There's no excuse not to work out while under lockdown! If you're going to be stuck inside, you might as well take advantage of it and get your life back in order, and do some exercise from the comfort of your living room and get a toned body for the summer.

To start off slow, we suggest a 15-minute workout session per day to build up your abs and flatten your belly. We promise that with this set you can say goodbye to your belly and hello to a slim, toned, and muscular waist.
If you do this series of exercises daily for a minimum of two weeks, you will quickly see and feel the difference.

15 minutes a day for dream abs:
This 6-minute set should be done twice. Give yourself a minute break in the middle. Let's get to it!
- 2 minutes of crunches
With your back firmly placed on your mat, and your feet flat and slightly apart, start with 2 minutes of crunches. Be careful not to pull with the back of your neck, keep your shoulders straight, and protect your head by holding it with your hands. The trick? Tuck in your stomach.
- 1 minute of crossover crunches
Maintain the same position as before and bring your knees slightly back above the pelvis. Bring your elbow back to your bent knee, and unfold the other leg.
- 1 minute of scissors
While still on your back, with your hands against the mat, contract your buttocks and alternate raising and lowering your legs.
- 1 minute superman
Lie on your stomach, legs stretched out and feet pointed. Your hands should be placed at head level. Your legs and arms should then be raised by contracting your abs for 10 seconds, and then release. Repeat the exercise without forgetting to breathe.
- 1 minute of planking
You didn't think we were going to forget this exercise, did you? Do one minute of planking. Keep your arms, legs, and back straight, buttocks tight, hands in line with the shoulders, abs contracted, and hold! If it's too difficult, you can go down on your knees.
Equipment you’ll need:
There is no need to invest in a lot of equipment to do this set. All you need is a quality mat to protect your back, which is preferably non-slip so you can hold each position without injuring yourself.
