Five Fast Ab Workouts that Turn Every Minute into an Adventure of Fitness

Fitness can be fun when you incorporate exercises that not only strengthen your core, but also invigorate your spirit. Bicycle crunches turn the mundane into exciting by mimicking the motion of bicycling while working on your abs and obliques simultaneously. To do this, you need to lie flat, hands behind your head, and bring your knees to your chest while lifting your shoulder blades off the ground. The rhythm and energy of this, coupled with a great music playlist or your favorite TV show could turn every minute into an amusing adventure that's pure health and fitness joy.

Form matters as much as the push: correct posture ensures optimal muscle activation and minimizes injury. Ensure your elbows are wide, chin off your chest, and that you engage each side equally. You could add an adventurous twist by racing yourself, aiming to complete a certain number within a minute or gradually increase your speed with every few reps.
