Pilates and Yoga have established and brought back to the spotlight some of the best abdomen workouts to help you lose that unwanted fat. Check out below for the top 3 workouts.

• Bicycle exercise is the best way to get 6-pack abs. First lie on your back on the floor and lay out leg straight out and keep the other knee bent at a 90 degree angle. You then take opposite arm to opposite leg and cross across your abs as you lift. After repeating this for each leg in reps of 10-12 for 1-2 sets you will feel the difference.

• The exercise ball is a very important tool to help firm and tone your abdomen area. It is far healthier for your back to use the exercise ball to do your crunches and other forms of abdominal workouts.

• Leg extension is a great abdomen workout as well. You simply lie on your back with your legs straight out in front of you. Keep your arms at your side and slowly lift your legs up while keeping your back flat on the ground. You will feel this in your abs if you are doing this exercise properly.
