Are you stuck with the same abs exercises like crunches and leg raises? Then add some variety to your routine with lying scissor kicks. Here's how you do this exercise:
Step 1: Lie down on your back with your arms fully extended and palms facing down.
Step 2: With a slight bend in your knees, lift your legs so that they are six inches off the ground. This will be your starting position.
Step 3: Now lift your left leg until your left heel is making a 45 degree angle with your right leg.
Step 4: Switch quickly moving your right leg up and lower your left leg. Repeat for desired number of reps.
