With a busy schedule, it's often hard to make time to go to the gym.

Whether you are swamped with work, have a toddler to take care of, or a packed family schedule, the gym ends up falling down on the priority list.

With these simple exercises you can have the abs you have always wanted with nothing more than a chair and 10 minutes a day.

Add this to your daily routine and see some results!

Twists

• Stand behind the chair, placing your hands on the back rest
• Take a few steps back, slightly bending your knees until your chest is parallel to the floor
• Slowly turn to the left, lefting your left hand over your ear.

• Put your hands behind your head
• Raise your shoulder blades off the floor using your ab muscles until you touch your right elbow with your left knee
