1. Crunches
Start with some
isometrics. Take a five-second
count to come up, and five
seconds back down. Do five
reps. You will feel the burn.
Next, do three reps of fifteen crunches at a normal pace.
Next, you will turn onto your
side, with your upper back
and shoulders still facing
upward. Do the same
workout that you did for the standard crunches (isometric,
then at a regular pace) on both
of your sides. This will work
your oblique muscles, also
known as love handles.
2. Ball Crunches
Lie down with the exercise ball under
the lower/mid-back. Squeeze
the abs to lift the shoulders
off the ball in a crunch. Lower
and repeat.
3. On the Treadmill
Walking and jogging on a treadmill will give you an
excellent cardiovascular
workout. Try to get in a
minimum of thirty minutes a
day. Experiment with
different speeds and inclines.
