Malaika Arora’s abs workout
On April 10, Malaika shared the video of her working out with the caption, “Train your core, transform your body.” In the video, she shared 5 exercises that focus on the upper and lower abs, achieve oblique lines, and help attain an hourglass shape. She suggested doing 20 reps of each exercise, and 5 sets in total.
According to Malaika, if your current aim is to achieve these milestones for your body, here are the exercises that you should be adding to your workout routine:
- If you want upper abs, you should do crunches. Do 5 sets and 20 repetitions of the routine.
- If you want toned lower abs, you should do leg raises. Do 5 sets and 20 repetitions of the routine.
- If you want defined abs, include scissors to your workout routine. Do 5 sets and 20 repetitions of the routine.
- If you want oblique lines, practice alternate leg lifts with an exercise ball. Do 5 sets and 20 repetitions of the routine. For the uninitiated, oblique muscle is one of the outermost abdominal muscles, extending from the lower half of the ribs around and down to the pelvis.
- Lastly, if you want an hourglass waist, start doing standing side twists.
Having perfectly sculpted abs is a dream many people have. It is a sign that you have a low body fat percentage. However, the obsession with achieving the perfect, flat stomach can take its toll mentally, physically, emotionally, and in some cases, financially. Therefore, before you start obsessing over getting a flat tummy, it is better to consult an expert to formulate a plan that suits you better.
