How to get abs as a kid. (I just turned 12)

Question

I just turned 12 I feel like I am under weight, I'm 36 kg and I want to get abs. I need some exercises to do. For example, sit-ups do they help you get abs? I don't really know many exercises so I would need a list.

Answer 1

Sit-ups have been a traditional go-to exercise for abdominal strength, but they can put excessive strain on the lower back and may not effectively engage all abdominal muscles.

Rather than that I’d recommend you focus more on:

1. planks and side planks

and also hanging exercises like:

1. leg raises (hanging or on the floor)
2. hip raises
3. side crunches
4. heel touches
5. mountain climbers
6. v-sits

.

By diversifying your ab routine, you not only reduce the risk of injury but also promote overall core strength and stability. Remember to prioritize proper form and controlled movements to maximize the benefits of each exercise.
