FLAT TUMMY WORKOUT: HOME EDITION

Try to incorporate these moves 2-3 times a week for optimal results. Keep in mind that a strong core will give you that beautiful strong posture. I usually end up doing ab work at the end of my workouts. It’s a good way to finish it off with a strong hoorah!

V-Situps [10 reps | 3 rounds]

• I know this isn’t the officially “v-situp” but I couldn’t think of a better name!!
• Begin by lying flat on your back
• Slowly raise yourself up to a seated position, making sure to keep your legs and feet on the floor
• Bend forward to touch the floor or mat in front of you
• Slowly go back to the beginning pose
• This is one rep

Single Leg Tuck-ins [10 reps | 3 rounds]

• Being in a lying position, arms above your head
• Slowly raise yourself so that you’re sitting in a balanced position
• Bring one leg up to meet your arm and do a mini crunch and hold
• Lower back down to the beginning position
• This is one rep

Leg-raise overhead [10 reps | 3 rounds]

• You need a strong core with this one so be careful and be prepared!! 
• Begin in a lying flat position
• Lift your lower back off the mat and kick your legs straight back (above your face)
• Hold in this position for 2-3 seconds
• Slowly come back down

Crossover Sit-up [10 reps | 3 rounds]

• Begin in a lying position
• Slowly raise your body to a straight sitting position
• Bend to the side from your hip
• Roll back down slowly

Mountain Climbers [30 seconds | 3 rounds]

• This one is a little different
• Begin in a plank position (up on your toes and hands)
• Kick each leg to your chest in a constant rhythm
• Set a timer and go!
