How To Get The Thin Stomach You`ve Always Wanted

How To Get The Thin Stomach You`ve Always Wanted

Okmy very favorite top three exercises for a toned tummy are:

1) The Plank

If you haven`t ever tried The Plank you`re in for a treat. It`s fabulous for strengthening both upper and lower abs.

Beginners: Lie face down. Forearms and toes should be on the floor. Breathe deeply. On an exhale, squeeze in the stomach muscles and lift up your middle section, so that you are being supported by the forearms, knees and toes. Keep the back flat and stomach in. Don't forget to keep breathing.

Hold for as long as is comfortable and lay back down. Build up the number of reps. This is the first level of The Plank.

Advanced: Once you are stronger, do the same as above, but when you lift up off the floor, bring the knees off as well, so that you are being supported by your arms and toes only. It may sound easy, but done properly it isn't.

2) Alternate Leg Lifts

Beginners: Follow the instructions for The Plank, but this time, bring your forearms off the floor also and bend your knees so that your hands and knees are supporting you.

Remember, to keep stomach tight and back flat.

Now stretch right arm out in front of you and at the same time stretch your left leg out behind you, being careful not to arch your back. Hold for 3-4 second, return to start and repeat on opposite leg. Build up to 15 reps each side.

Advanced: As above, but keep legs straight when starting, as in The Plank. So that only your hands and toes are supporting you.

3) Scissor Lift

Beginners: Lie flat on your back, legs up in the air, breathing normally.

Slowly lower legs towards the floor until the point where you feel the tension kick in. Return legs to start position and repeat.

Advanced: When you feel your stomach muscles tense on the downward move, "scissor" your legs for 5 seconds (more as you become stronger) and then scissor to the start position and repeat.

The great thing about all of these exercises is that you don't need any special equipment, they`re kind to your back and they work!
