4 moves for way flat abs


Wanna get that tummy toned before Spring Break? We’ve got a do-anywhere ab routine to get your belly ready for bikini season in no time. Try these moves a few times a week, throw in some cardio and you’ll be in enviable shape by the time warm weather hits. 
 
Basic Crunch
Lie on the floor with your knees bent, feet flat and apart about the width of your hips. Put your hands behind your head with fingertips lightly touching behind your neck. Contract your abs, then raise your head, upper back and shoulders off the floor (don’t cheat and pull your head up with your hands!). Keep raising to a slow, steady count of four until your chin is about four inches from your chest. Hold for a moment, then slowly return to the starting position.
 
The Bicycle
Lie on the floor with knees bent and legs lifted, hands behind your head. Lift shoulder blades off the floor, and slowly twist left elbow toward right knee as you extend your left leg; immediately switch sides without lowering your shoulders to the floor.
 
Straight Leg Crunch
Lie on your back with legs raised straight above your hips and arms reaching up. Lifting your shoulders from the floor, simultaneously stretch fingertips towards toes and press feet to the ceiling to lift your butt and tailbone off the floor.
 
Side Plank
Lie on your right side with right elbow under your shoulder. Lift hips so your body is in a straight line from knee to head. Hold for 20 counts. Repeat on left.

MOD MOD MOD- im a health nut! i like eating healthy food, exersize almost everyday, and everytime i eat, i try to eat all the foods im suppose to on the food pyramid. Am i super obsessed. And if i am, how do i stop?

 

 

Hey girly girl! Based off of that alone, it doesn't sound super obsessed at all. However, if it's getting in the way of the rest of your life, then I'd cut back a little. Skipping a day or two a week of working out is perfectly fine! Your body needs time to re-coup. So, don't beat yourself up over taking a break every now and then. And, if you eat healthy 90% of the time and cheat every now and then on something junky or sweet, then that's ok too.

MOD MOD MOD Is there any way I can become a moderator? My friends come to me for good advice so I thought it would be a good thing to do. Let me know, thanks!

 

 

Hey girly! I'm pretty sure you have to be in at least college before applying to become a mod.

MOD!!! Hey, I have a trampoline in my backyard, and I was wondering if I could use it to benefit myself for workouts . . .
So, what kind of jumping exercises can I do? Besides jumping jacks, which I do already.
Thanks,
Lucy




hey! try tumbling like sumersaults to improve your dexterity and flexibility Smile

Get bored on your runs? Bring a buddy along, and you’ll find yourself running longer with more ease.
