15-minute workout for perfect sculpted arms and abs

A toned body never goes out of fashion. In the present day, when our lives have become so hectic, it is not really possible to take out much time to focus on fitness, proper diet and nutrition. Here is a 15-minute special workout routine for arms and abs by Kiran Krishnakumar, Delhi-based fitness trainer.

The Dolphin Plank pose is a judicious mix of Dolphin Pose and Plank Pose. Get down on the floor on your hands and knees, bring your elbows down to the floor, while your palms stay grounded. Raise your hips upwards. Make sure that the arms are parallel to each other, with palms flat on the floor. Pause; breathe normally, slowly lowering your back, resuming the first position of the forearm plank.

Start by facing down with weight distributed on the hands and feet. The hands are usually placed approximately shoulder width apart. Lower your body until your chest nears the floor, and then return up to the starting position. Breathe out on the way down, and breathe in as you come back up. Continue the same for a minute at least for best results.

Start with the high plank position, with your wrist under your shoulder and your feet hip width apart. Now, touch each shoulder with the opposite hand. Continue the same exercise for a minute, to enjoy best results.

Lie on your left side with your legs extended, your left elbow directly under your shoulder, and your right hand palm down. Raise your right arm to put it behind your head. Rotate your torso in a way that your right elbow comes close to the left hand. For best results, don't let your hips fall, utilizing all your gluten and core strength to maintain the posture.

Lie on the floor and place your hands behind your head and raise you legs. Touch your right elbow to your left knee, now touch your left elbow to your right knee. Emphasize on making the opposite knee and arm meet, or come the closest possible.

Lie on your back with your feet together and arms beside your body. Lift your chest and feet off the ground, stretching your arms towards your feet. Keep breathing deeply and easily while maintaining the pose. As you exhale, come back to the ground slowly and relax.
