Seated Desk Elbow Pushdowns

One of the BEST 30-second stomach-strengthening exercises you can do!
by Nick Nilsson (aka, “the Mad Scientist of Muscle”)

This abdominal exercise is a "stealth" ab exercise...you can do it without anybody ever knowing you're doing an ab exercise!

Sit with your elbows on a desk. Now just push your elbows DOWN onto the desk as though trying raise your body up out of the seat (your legs may tighten and come up a bit as well).

This pushing action engages the six-pack ab muscles but without crunching or curling up. You can control how much tension you place on the abs by how hard you push down on your elbow.

You can also do this exercise one arm at a time, to engage the deep muscles of the core (the obliques and transverse abdominus).

You can even do this one while looking completely bored out of your mind...even when you're cradling your head in your hand, you're pushing down hard with that one elbow to contract the abs!
