The lying hip raises will make your hamstrings, back, abs, thighs and gluteal muscles stronger. Take a lying position, bend your knees with your feet on the ground. Spread your arms on the sides at an angle of 45 degrees. Tighten your gluteal muscles and lift your hips. Repeat this several times.

2. Plank

The plank workout is one of the best and most effective, yet most underrated exercise ever. This is a static exercise which will give you those ripped abs, and hard shoulders. Position yourself on the ground like when you do your pushups. Then arch your elbows at 90 degrees.

Position your body in a straight line, and bolster it with your elbows, forefeet, and lower arms. Remain in this position for as long as you can. It’s also crucial to remember, while in this position, you shouldn’t move your butt and/or waist no matter what.

3. Bird Dog

Again, plank-position your body, while maintaining it with your hands and knees. Spread one arm and one leg (left arm – right leg, and vice versa). Make sure that your body is well in balance and straight. Remain in this position for several seconds. This workout will make your abs and lower back stronger.

4. Squats

The squats will build your core up, they will trigger fat burning in a healthier way, and you’ll have strong quadriceps, formed calves and hams.

Take a squat position, spread your arms in front of you and begin. Do this at a slow pace. Your face should be looking forward, and make sure that your spine is linear. Go low as you possibly can.

Make sure that your hips are aligned with the ground, but if you’re experiencing discomfort doing this, don’t pressure yourself.

5. Push ups
