On July 23, yoga and fitness content creator Rajni dropped an ab routine on Instagram with a caption that instantly called us out: “Try this home ab workout and see the difference”.
Filmed in a simple home setup — just a mat, a floor, and a regular plastic chair in the frame — the video highlights four distinct leg-driven crunch variations designed to target different regions of the core. No fancy gym membership required, just high reps and body weight. Each movement relies solely on body weight, leaning on high-repetition sets to promise targeted muscle definition. The movement combines an inward crunching motion with lateral leg abductions, focusing tension on the lower abdominal wall. By alternating leg extensions vertically in a continuous crisscross motion, the movement engages full abdominal stability. The rise of such home routines points to a larger shift toward minimal-equipment fitness training. By removing the need for specializsd gear, content creator-led workouts lower the barrier for people trying to build a daily workout habit.
To target the lower abs, Rajni’s routine prescribed 100 open and closed leg crunches daily. Finishing the routine, Rajni recommended 100 daily scissor crunches to build overall core definition.
