Abs Exercise #28: The Cobra

The cobra stomach exercise is taken from the yoga cobra pose. It works the abs as well as helps with spinal muscles and mobility. You don’t need any special equipment for this exercise, just yourself and the floor.

Here is the proper way to perform the cobra:

1. Begin by lying face down and putting your hands besides your chest, palms facing up.
2. Point your toes into the ground.
3. Exhale and slowly press your chest and arms off the floor.
4. Try and squeeze your shoulder blades together while you hold the position for around 30 seconds.
5. Do 3 to 4 sets.

Things to remember when doing the cobra:

• Do not over stretch your back when you lift up and stop immediately if you experience any back pain.
