Many of us are stricken by the fact that gyms have not yet been opened everywhere and even if they are, many of us are still unsure about the safety and hygiene standards of these gym.

Under these circumstances working out from home is the best thing to do, since leading a sedentary lifestyle will make you lose your six-pack first – something you’ve worked so hard to build. I mean let’s be honest, bench pressing 80% your body weight is a lot easier than holding a low plank for a minute.

Since we don’t want your efforts to go to waste here are a few simple yet effective exercises you can start with to maintain and carve out those abs muscles.

1. Anjaneyasana – Anjaneyasana or the Equestrian Pose is a lunging back bending asana in modern yoga. It is sometimes included as one of the asanas in the Surya Namaskara sequence as well due to the many benefits it renders. It makes the gluteus muscles and the quadriceps stronger while giving the hips and hip flexors a good stretch. It helps open up your shoulders from the top, your lungs, and your chest.

2. Utthita Ashwa Sanchalanasana – Also known as the Lunge Pose due to its close resemblance to a sprinter’s beginning position in a race. Utthita Ashwa Sanchalanasana helps with all the muscle groups majorly involved in movement. If you wish to loosen up the claves, hamstrings, hips and lower back, while tightening the core and increasing overall flexibility of the lower body then this exercise is one you must master.

3. Kumbhakasana – Also known as the Plank Pose due to it resembling a plank, great for toning the abs and training the core alongside strengthening upper body muscles like the arms and the torso. This pose is also beneficial for someone with a wrist ache as it can help regain strength slowly.

These exercises are great for a beginner so if you think you can crush these workouts and want something more challenging then head over to https://yourbuddhi.com/yoga-types/vinyasa-yoga/ and check out our Vinyasa Flow Yoga.
