You must ensure that your legs are straight. At that position, you will lift your hips slowly and being careful not to bend your legs or back.

Another exercise that you can try in the house is known as crunches. This one is good for abs. It requires that you lie down flat with your hands at the back of your head and your fingers intertwined. Then, you will lift your legs up without bending your knees. The legs should be straight and then you would try to lift your head so as to touch your knees and hold it there for some seconds. You can do 1 to 3 sets of 10 to 15 reps of this exercise.

An abdominal exercise that is usually focused getting rid of abdominal fat is Sit-Ups. Lie flat on the ground on your back. Your hands should be at the back of your head with the fingers inter-locked. Attempt lifting the upper part of your body. The legs should not bend or move. Maintain the position for 1-2 seconds and then go back to your initial position. Perform as many sit-ups as you can.

If you are not fond of the above type of exercises, you may like to try aerobic dancing. This can be much more fun, and can be done according to a DVD that you purchase. Aerobics trains the whole body, and is therefore very beneficial. With a few friends, aerobics can be even more fun.
