Fab Abs

On to our tummies today!

Ok, here's a standing movement. Stand next to a counter top. Place right hand on counter for balance support. Put left hand behind head as you would for crunches. Put all your weight on left foot, pick right foot off ground slightly. Now, tighten abs and crunch your body together bringing right knee up to left elbow. Keep abs tight even as you lower leg all the way to an inch above the ground. Do this for one full minute and then immediately switch sides for another full minute. (Try some slow and some fast to see what seems to work best for you and stick to that!)

Now get down and do 50 crunches however you like to do them most.

Repeat above exercises 2-5 times (however much your time and kids allow.)

Make it count everyone!
