One thing you can do is try the Bicycle Exercise. To get started with the bicycle exercises you have to lay flat on the floor with your lower back pressed to the ground and place your hands beside your head. Slightly lift up your knees and go through the bicycle pedal motion.  Make sure that when you maintain the pedaling, your left elbow is touching your right knee, and your right elbow is touching your left knee. Continue to alternate sides and do about 1-3 sets of about 12 reps.

If you like doing crunches, then another workout you can try is the Vertical Leg Crunch. This exercise is very fun yet effective. To get started on this workout, you need to lie down on the floor and extend your legs straight up with your knees crossed. Your hands can be placed on the floor or you can have your hands touching your head.  Lift your shoulders off the floor, reaching your chest towards your legs. Repeat for about 1-3 sets of about 12 reps. This abs workout is just like doing crunches although, with your legs up in the air instead of being on the floor.

Try out these workouts while you’re at home watching television! They are easy, fun, and very effective. If you continue to do about 1-3 sets of about 12 reps a day, your beach body will be ready for you in no time. Enjoy!
