Hãy viết đoạn tóm tắt về nội dung bằng tiếng việt kích thích người mua: I’m a personal trainer — 3 things you can do to boost your ab workouts without weights

You might not always have access to a space fully stocked with the best gym equipment when hitting your exercise mat for ab workouts. If weight training is off the table and you want to intensify core exercises, I’ve got you covered with three tips I use as a personal trainer. 

Here are some simple techniques you can use, whether you enjoy the simplicity of crunches and sit-ups, or more technical abdominal exercises like the farmer’s walk and thrusters. 

1. Create tension

We don’t mean you should make things awkward in the gym, by the way. Not that kind of tension. You can create abdominal tension without external resistance by adopting time under tension. I harp on about this all the time, but it truly is the gift that keeps giving in the fitness world. 

build muscle without lifting heavier weights and improve your mind-muscle connection. Having a good understanding of what your core muscles are doing during workouts and mentally staying checked in will help you engage them properly, improve muscle recruitment as you move and add intensity. 

2. Change it up

Like anything in life, you’ll get bored eventually if you don’t mix it up. If I asked you to eat cheese toasties every week for the rest of your life, at some point, cheese toasties won’t cut it anymore. The same goes for your abs workouts — your body needs more stimulation in the form of a challenge if you want muscles to respond, adapt and grow.

There are many ways to add intensity to abs workouts without weights, such as reducing the rest you take, increasing sets or reps, or including back-to-back exercises like supersets and giant sets — all will force your core muscles to work harder and longer.

I also recommend adding new exercises to your routine or advanced variations of existing exercises as you become more competent and your body adapts. If leg raises aren’t cutting it anymore, why not try hanging leg raises or change sit-ups to decline sit-ups?

Consider changing your program every few weeks and swap out exercises to keep them fresh. Here are some standing ab exercises and the best ab exercises you can do with sciatica to get you started. Plus, we’ve included some other core workouts you can try below.

Another technique used in sports drills and team workouts involves multi-directional movement — moving in different directions; this can increase 360-degree core activation and teach your body to maintain stability, balance, and coordination while working in different planes of motion.

You could include agility tests, animal flow exercises or explosive movements like squat jumps, box jumps, or tuck jumps — all of which require plenty of core engagement and can increase muscular intensity tenfold.

One of my favorite drills is multi-directional sit-ups, done with a partner or alone. Perform a sit-up, lower to the ground, then on the next rep, sit-up with a gentle twist to the left. Lower again, then gently sit up to your right.

A partner can gently push you back down each rep; as you resist falling backward, your core muscles respond and engage to resist movement, similar to how the Pallof press uses anti-rotation to engage your core.

3. Focus on engagement

We’ve all heard the saying, “Engage your core,” but what does it mean? The rule of thumb is to exhale as your muscles produce the most force. I often tell people to gently suck the belly button toward your spine and brace as if expecting a punch to the stomach. Learning to do this before you exercise is the most important thing when working your abs. 

During heavy weightlifting, some lifters use the Valsalva maneuver, which is similar to the act of blowing up a balloon. While generally reserved for more technical lifts, it can help stabilize your trunk and increase intra-abdominal pressure. 

But there are some contraindications, so I recommend checking out the things I wish I had known as a deadlift beginner if you plan to learn the breathing technique.

You won’t be working on maximal lifting during bodyweight ab workouts, but you can still focus on engagement — gently squeeze your trunk throughout all phases of an exercise and remember to breathe diaphragmatically (expansively) rather than restricting it to your chest.
