Beginner Abs Workout | Knee-friendly

Best 6 Beginner Ab Exercises | Floor-based Home Workout

Are you a beginner with Ab and core exercises at home? Do you have knee or hand issues? This is the perfect beginner Ab workout for you to practice at home.

This is a low-impact and knee-friendly Ab workout for all levels and ages. These Ab exercises are perfect for over 40 beginners.

Why strengthen your core and Abs? If you have ever suffered from lower back pains you would have been advised by your physio or specialist to strengthen your core to prevent back issues. A strong core helps support the spine, back muscles, and hip health.

I have carefully designed this Ab floor-based workout for anyone who has knee issues, wrist issues, or neck issues. As there is no weight on these joints or compromised positions. A slow low-impact beginner Ab workout for everyone.

I’ll take you through some easy stretches to warm up in the beginning and to help you relax at the end of this Ab workout.

You don’t need any equipment, and can practice this Ab workout at least three times a week!

   Important Tips For Your Abs Workout
   1. Engage the core by drawing the navel to the spine and activate the pelvic floor.
   2. Move slowly and smoothly.
   3. Focus on slow even breaths.
   
   Place the video on pause after I demonstrate each Pilates Ab exercise so you can take your time, doing more repetitions and sets. Beginners aim for 10-15 repetitions for each Pilates exercise.
