Here are some easy old-school abs exercises that are followed by most athletes:

1) Plank

The plank works the entire core and other body parts, improving stability and strength.

It's one of the most important exercises to get those strong and aesthetic abs. Cristiano Ronaldo's abs workout consists of variations of planks to increase core stability required for better performances on the field.

Instructions:

• Get into a push-up position with feet straight and elbows on the floor.
• Keep the body straight, and contract the glutes to prevent sagging.
• You can also perform the plank with arms locked and palm on the ground to increase the difficulty level.
• Hold for 30 seconds to a minute. Perform 3-4 sets.

• Draw one knee to your chest, and straighten again.
• Do the same with the other leg, and alternate as quickly as possible.
• Keep the core engaged and back as flat as you can throughout.
• Don't worry if you need to slow your pace down to maintain good form
