Three minute-workouts for amazing abs

Everyone wants amazing abs and a good body but the problem is that very people know how to get there. Also, weights and gym memberships are expensive these days and you probably will not have access to them while you travel.
The following workout can be done in as quickly as three minutes and the only equipment you need is your own body. The workout consists of doing each of the following exercises for 15 seconds each and then taking a 15 second rest period before the next one. If you want to raise the difficulty, you can do it for more time, perhaps 20 or 30 seconds each
*Pushups
These are pretty self explanatory. The trick for your pushups to be effective is to keep a solid form. Make sure your back is strait and your legs are fully extended. Make your pushups as fast and bring yourself as low to the ground as you possibly can.
*Mountain climbers
To do this exercise, go to a pushup position with your butt sticking up slightly. Now alternatingly, jump and move your legs one at a time up behind your hands. This is a good cardio workout for legs, core, and arms.
*V ups
This is one of the best ab workouts around. Lay on your back with your feet and legs strait out in front of you. Then, move your body up, bending at your midsection, and try and touch your hands to the tips of your feet. It is very important to keep your body rigid during this exercise .
*Hip thrusters
Also know as half burpees, this exercise is very similar to the mountain climbers you hopefully did earlier. Everything starts the same but instead of alternating your feet, you move both feet at once. You must go into a pushup position and then jump up so your both of your feet are behind your hands, then jump back. It is very important to do these hard and fast during the workout period.
*High knees
This exercise is very similar to running in place, but you bring your knees with each step all the way up so that they are perpendicular to your hips. Do these fast and push yourself to get your knees high.
*Squats
By this time you should be gasping your breath. Squats are one of the simpler exercises and to do them, you position your feet shoulder width apart and stand up straight. Then, you bend your knees, keeping the balance on the balls of your feet. Stand back up and repeat.
In the end, the amount that you gain from this workout is up to you. If you put 100 percent of your effort into every single second, you will see results. It does not take much to be successful with these exercises as you only need a few commercials while you are watching TV at night to fit it into your day.
