Squats: Stand with your feet hip-width apart, tighten your abdominal muscles, keep your hands staright and parallel to the floor, lower your body as if you were about to sit on a chair and stop when your legs are parallel to the floor. Stay like this for a few seconds. Press down your heels and rise up back to the standing position. Repeat it 10 times.
Butterfly abs: On a hard surface, lie down on your back and join the soles of your feet together. Relax knees out to the sides. Place your hands on the head, with elbows out. While tightening the abs, lift your chest and shoulders up and then release back down. Repeat 10-12 times.
Rollover pilates: Lie face up on the floor, with your arms by your side, palms down and legs straight. Keeping your feet relaxed, lift your legs up till they are perpendicular to the floor, raise your hips slowly and reach your head with your legs and take them as far as possible. Slowly come back to the first position. Repeat five to six times.
Oblique crunches: Lie on your back on the floor, with knees bent. Cross left ankle over the opposite knee, place the right hand behind your head and lift the right shoulder towards the left knee. Release and repeat with the right ankle and left hand. Do it for eight to ten times.
