These Exercises Will Work Out Parts Of Your Abdominals You’ve Never Known About – BOA FORM

And it is important that all this works well so that we can perform basic day-to-day activities, such as walking, sitting or putting away groceries from the supermarket. Hence the importance of working out more than the straight muscle (the famous six-pack). To help you fulfill this mission, we have selected some exercises that promise to work this part of the body completely. Take a look:

In the same position as in the previous exercise, when raising your hips, keep your knees bent and your feet flat on the ground. The body should form a straight line from the knees to the shoulders. Already the neck is diagonally and the look, upwards. Don’t let your butt sag.
