15 Minute Abs Workout

This is a simple but effective 15 minute core workout for building abs. The workout starts with several variations on the basic crunch, then move on to leg raises, stretches, full planks, side planks, then some more stretches from yoga, including the cobra and child postures. It finishes with some cat stretches to help strengthen the lower back.

    How many times should i do these exercises, 3-4-5 times a week? I go to the gym should I do them in training or non-training days?

    Antoni, it is up to you really. You could incorporate it into your training, or do them on alternative days. As for how many times a week, that really depends on how intensively you do it and what else you are doing. If your training days involve intensive weight training or interval training then you probably do not want to be doing this 15 minutes 5 times a week. Do as much as you feel comfortable with, and give yourself time to recover. I would suggest that 3 times a week is plenty if you are doing other exercise too.

    Hi Deepika, stretch marks are not actually formed when the skin is stretched, although it is connected with a rapid stretching of the skin. “stretch marks are caused by changes in the level of the glucocorticoid hormone in the body. This can inhibit the skin cells from synthesizing collagen and elastin fibers. As a result the growing skin loses the support it needs to maintain its firmness and flexibility. This lack of support compels the dermis to break in places allowing the inner layer of the skin to become apparent, creating the stretch marks.” – Medimise.com

    The article on Medimise also provides some treatments, such as creams. Take a look.
