Bowflex® How-To | Two-Minute Easy Ab Workout for Beginners

This 2 minute ab workout is perfect if you're new to working out, or if you've never done an ab workout before. Follow along as you are guided through four beginner level ab exercises that are easy to do, but will still effectively work your core muscles.

This quick and easy ab workout for beginners will guide you through the following four ab exercises, each done for 30 seconds, for a total of 2 minutes:

1) Thigh crunches
2) Marches
3) Left oblique crunches
4) Right oblique crunches

Be sure when you are doing each of these ab exercises that you are squeezing your ab muscles when you flex them to insure they are working hard. Also, go for quality over quantity by focusing on slower, controlled movements that work to engage the muscles so you are getting as much out of each move as possible.

Once you're feeling good about the beginner ab workout and are ready to increase your workout intensity, try one of these other ab workouts:

Thank you for making this video. It is great for someone like me, a total beginner. I wondered if I was doing it wrong at first because I didn't feel any stiffness. The next morning I knew I had done it right as the stiffness was all in the right places.

I'm a small person and people say I'm thin but when I take off my shirt I'm not proud of my body. Is there any other workouts I should try so I can get that "bikini body". I am a beginner. I am looking at prom dresses and I would like to feel and look beautiful before it. Prom is a couple months away. - Rachel Junior in High School
