The one move you need for rock-hard abs

Check these out, too...

  • Bella Thorne shows ya how to work it with WAAT-AAH!'s Move Your Body flash mob
  • 4 things that are killing your cardio workout
  • GL's Bikini Body Boot Camp is now in session!
  • Short shorts-approved moves for toned legs
  • 3 bikini blaster Blogilates workouts
Top trainer Kelly Borowiec created a just-for-GL cardio workout that's a total fat blaster for our Feb/March '13 issue. Grab it now on newsstands for the full how-to, but for now, focus on nabbing a killer core with this one essential move we adore. Ski abs, here we come!
 
Step 1: Begin in plank position with your feet and hand on the ground.
 
Step 2: Jump your knees up toward your chest and land with both feet slightly to the left of your arms (aim for your right knee to touch your left elbow).
 
Step 3: Shoot your legs out into a plank position again.
 
Step 4: Bring your knees up toward the right side of your hands.
 
Aim for 19 reps per set, chicas!

MOD!!! MOD!!!
Will this help you lose weight if you're overweight?

 

hey girl! while this move will help strengthen and build core muscles, it will not have much of an effect on your weight. to shed (a healthy amount of) pounds, you should eat healthy food (whole grains, lean protein like chicken/beans, plenty of fruit and veg) and exercise (both cardio AND strength). try browsing our Health & Fitness section for workout and food inspiration. good luck!

okay. so im going on vacay for spring break. i think its the first week of april. but i REALLY just want to loose the extra stomache and thigh fat. any excercises/tips on how to do that?? i want my bod to be bikini ready by spring break!! please and thank you. :** xx




Hey girl! It sounds like your spring break is going to be super fun! The best way to work out that area of your bod is to keep consistent with your ab workout, make sure you're eating a balanced and healthy diet (lots of fruits and veggies!), and drink plenty of water. Good luck!

how long should you do this for each day?

Hey girlie,

This post says to do 19 reps per set, and I would try to do it at least 3 days a week.

MOD MOD MOD I really want to lose about 10 pounds quickly. My weight is making me insecure because I am a dancer. I am at the top of the healthy range, and I would feel much better if I was closer to the bottom. So in short, I would like to lose about ten pounds. Is there any healthy tips for losing this weight quickly? Its mostly in my stomach.

Hey girlie,

I would focus on living a healthy lifestyle and not on losing a certain amount of weight. If you're in the healthy range, you're fine! I would talk to a doctor or nutritionist about an exercise and eating plan that's right for you, because everyone is different, and healthy for you isn't the same as it might be for someone else, so don't be too hard on yourself! If you're dancing and staying active, that's awesome! Check out our workouts page for more exercise ideas: http://www.girlslife.com/category/workouts.aspx
