10 Fat Burning Ab Exercises

6. Donkey Kickbacks

Donkey kickbacks engage the gluteus muscles, the lower back muscles, and the abdominal muscles. This exercise forces you to focus on balance and stability which improve your athletic capabilities. Position yourself on all fours on the mat with your wrists directly beneath your shoulders and your knees directly under your hips. Keeping your right knee bent at a 90-degree angle, lift your leg until your thigh is parallel with the floor and stretch the leg out. At the same time, lift the left arm straight out ahead of you. Hold for a few seconds and bring your leg and arm back down. Repeat 15 times, then switch to the other side.
