Better Late then Never Abs!

Hi girls,

It's 2 p.m., do you know where YOUR abs are? You may want to hold on tight for this one. (Unless you have a rock solid tummy then you can breeze on through!)

Start flat on your back, feet straight in the air, hands lightly behind your head. Slowly open your feet to either side (a straddle in the air) and then back to center. As your feet come together again, bring your head and shoulders and bum off the ground, crunching everything tight. Do this 20 times.

Now, stay on your back, feet straight in air. Lift your head and shoulders off the ground by tightening abs. As if walking, pull your right knee toward your head, push it back up; then left knee down and back up (keeping abs tight and upper body still in the air.) 10-30 reps depending on your fitness level...if you start feeling too much strain in your neck, take a break.

Lastly, keeping legs straight in air, drop one slowly down about 3 inches off the ground, then out to the side, back in and back up. (You are making an L shape). Switch legs. Make sure to keep abs tight and don't let back arch! Do this 10-20 times.

Now, repeat the above 3 exercises, 3-5 sets.

Have a great Friday night! I'll be back tomorrow!
