Make your crunches do double-duty

 

Check these out, too...

  • 6 moves to get you toned by spring break
  • 5 ab blasters for a spring break bikini bod
  • How to make any workout an ab blaster
  • 10 butt busters to get your booty ready for the beach
  • GL's Bikini Body Boot Camp is now in session!
Wanna blast ab flab and score a six pack in just a few weeks? This move will have you bikini-ready in no-time flat. Just add it to your cardio workout three times a week and get ready to hit the sand!

 

Since sculpting is about muscle control rather than momentum, you want to do these moves as slowly as you can. Begin each sesh with a 5-minute warm-up, like walking or jogging in place. When your finished, stretch your bod out to give your muscles some relief.

 

The Two-Way Crunch

Start by lying on your back with knees bent, feet flat on the floor. Raise your legs so your knees are above your hips and your calves are parallel to the floor. Place your hands lightly behind your head, elbows to the sides. Contract abs, pulling your bellybutton into your spine. 
 
Finish by exhaling, and then squeeze your abs as you lift your hips slightly off the floor. Bring your knees toward your chest, simultaneously lifting your head and shoulders a few inches off the floor. Inhale as you lower. Slowly repeat for 15 total repetitions.

My school is not having a track team/cross country team this year for middle school. I LOVE to run,so I'm having my own, personal team. I know that at my age I should try to work up to 30-35 miles per day within three months, but I need to find a good training website to help me along the way. Do you have any ideas, or know of any really good, easy to follow websites? thx<3




Hey girlie,

Try searching Google for a training website to get people ready for marathons. I don't personally run cross country so I don't have a great website in mind, but there are TONS out there! Once you work up to that level, slowly increase the distance you run each week. It'll take discipline but since you love to run, it'll be fun too! <3

Hey girlie,

Remember that a little stubble after shaving is TOTALLY normal! But you can cut down on those bumps (aka razor burn) by remembering a few key tips - all found here!

Im going on a two week vacation in 9 days. i have a almost flat stomach and the begginings of abs, how do i get like a 6 pack or really flat tiny stomach in this time?
Also, what kind of clothes should i bring? I can only have one suitcase and so i cant fit a ton of clothes in, and i dunno how im gonna fit 2weeks of clothes in one suitcase!!
Ohhh one more question!
its a 15 hour cartrip! what do i do on the car ride there and back?! I have a ipod but i get bored of my music kinda quickly Foot

 

Hey chica!  Keep on doing what you're doing and you'll have flat abs in no time!  No exercise routine gives results so quickly, getting abs in an extended process.  But as long as you keep working out, you'll get there eventually!  When packing, make sure you got the basics of course, and if you know you'll be able to wash clothes, only bring a week's worth of clothes, that way you can wear them again!  Bring a sweatshirt or two, pajamas, shoes, and don't forget a couple of bathing suits!  Pack a fancier outfit in ase you go out to dinner or something.  Pack extra basics (socks included) and an extra outfit just in case!  During the car ride, there is lots you can do.  Bring a few movies, play some "geography" (your 'rents are sure to know that game), and do crossword puzzles/sudoku!  If that's not enough to keep you entertained, take a nap!  Smile  Enjoy your vacation!


xo,

Channa R.
