The best easy abs workout for women.

You might have tried doing crunches for a while but still not getting results, well forget about those. Crunch fatigue is real and is something you should avoid getting. Moreover, crunches do not encourage your abdominal muscles to work through their full range of motion. So doing a hundred crunches a day may still not yield the results you want.

And secondly, crunches add undue strain on your neck and back if not correctly done. So Many people tend to put their hands behind their nape and try to pull up their bodies which stains the neck. This will put some stress on your spine and lead to unnecessary aches and pains in the long run.

Luckily, they’re so many other abs workout routines that are safer and more effective to do. Mixing them up and creating a routine will strengthen different layers of your core in addition to making you look more toned out. When you have a strong core, it means you’ll have a better posture, and more balance, and thankfully less joint pain.
