Kayak Abs

This exercise is called Kayak Abs because the movement you'll is similar to what kayak paddlers do. Actually people that ride the kayak are doing this exact exercise with riding it. To do this exercise you have to have good balance because you'll have to balance your whole body just with your pelvis and a very tiny part of your spine. Once you are on that position you'll have to rotate your body from side to side, moving your hips, touching with your hands on the floor on both sides of your body.

Details: Try to find something comfortable to put under your pelvis, without taking the balance you need to do this exercise, and do as much repetitions you can. You must always touch the floor in order to keep the quality of the exercise and in order to make more muscle.

Side Static Hold Abs

In this exercise all you have to do is to stay static. It may seem easy but it's not as easy as you think, and the fact that you have to stay static it's the hardest part of it. First you have to put one of your hands closed and the elbow of the same arm on the floor parallel to your body and then, with your body sideways and completely straight, put your feet also sideways one the floor (one over the other one), and with your other hand in your waist you'll have to stay static in that position as much time as you can. Then you'll have to do the exactly same thing but turned to the other side.

Details: Try to find something fluffy to put under your elbow.

Ninja Abs

In ninja abs, what you have to do is to put your hands closed and your elbows in the ground parallel to your body with your arms making a 90º angle, then with your body completely straight you have to put your feet on the floor, and once you are in that position all you have to do is to raise one of your arms and stretch it forward punching the air, then you have to get back into the position and do the same movement but with the other arm, and then going back to position again. Keep alternating your arms and hold as much repetitions you can.

Details: Always keep your body straight and the 90º angle with your arms. Try to find something fluffy to put under your elbows.

Static Hold Abs

In this type of abs all you have to do is to stay static. The first impression that people normally has about this abs is that they're easy and doesn't worth they're time. Well, first thing, this abs aren't easy because, as we'll see, this abs are one of the only ones that you do until you can handle it anymore. So, to do this abs, the first thing you have to do is to put your elbows and your hands closed on the floor parallel to your body in order to sustain it. Then you'll have to put just your feet on the ground with your body completely straight and your arms doing a 90º angle. Once you are in the position you'll have to hold as much time as you can.

Details: Find something fluffy to put under your elbows and use a stopwatch to count how much time do you hold in that position.

Inverted Abs

They're called inverted abs because unless of raising your arms, your head and your shoulders, in this abs, you'll have to raise your legs and your pelvis. In this exercise you have to lie down on the floor with your hands and arms in full contact with the floor positioned aside of you completly straight and then you have to curve your legs and with the impulse of your legs you have to raise your pelvis about 1 feet of the ground.

Details: Use a folded towel or a gymnastics carpet under your back or you may hurt your spine. Remember to keep your legs always curved and never raise your hands and arms of the ground and also remember not to lie down your head.
