Can we do abs exercise at home?

One of the most toughest muscle to build, but yet the fastest to gain fat or weight are the abs. Another challenge is whether or not abs exercise can be done at home. Generally, to lose those 'tires' around the waist, we would resort to the gym, outdoor activities (cycling, swimming, hiking) or even aerobics.
However,you can do abs exercises at home. All you need is space, one of which is your living room.
Here's a few abs exercises you can try at home:
1. Crunches
2. Floor cycling
3. Reverse crunches
4. V-crunches
5. Leg raises
6. Pushing out
7. Elbow plank
8. Beat abs

You may choose to do 3-4 different abs exercises over a span of 3-5 times a week. Try alternating between abs exercises. This keeps, what you come across, as keeping your body guessing. Why? When you keep to the same exercise, your body adjust to the exercise and this reduces your body to work harder. Another alternative is to increase intensity. Remember, abs is the toughest muscle to build, so, keep increasing your intensity.
