Dream Abs In 1 Minute
This year, my Thanksgiving fitness routine has a friendlier approach…less moves, more results. Here are 3 moves will target your core…I especially like the flip flop 🙂 If you thought you didn’t have time to workout over the holidays, now you do!
Plus, if you need a little extra ab action, head on over to the Toned in 10 kit, which includes short workouts, but packs in big results. These 10-min routines target your abs to blast away fat in (almost) no time!
Side Crunch
What it does:
- You’ll love the gorgeous, fluid motion of this exercise, designed to target the obliques on a whole new level.
How to do it:
- Start lying on your side, with your bottom leg bent and top leg stretched out long. Extend your bottom arm out on the floor directly in front of you, using that hand as a stabilizer.
- Reach your top arm straight overhead, and lift the top leg off the floor using your oblique.
- Lift your top arm and leg off the floor toward each other, squeezing the top oblique throughout the movement.
Charlie’s Angels
What it does:
- This upright core exercise puts a lively twist on traditional oblique training.
How to do it:
- Sit upright with knees bent, feet on the floor, chest lifted. Lift your feet off the floor, tucking your knees into your chest. Interlace your fingers and point them forward.
- Using your obliques, swivel your knees side to side.
Roll-Overs
How to do it:
- Lying facedown on the floor with your arms and legs extended, lift your upper body and legs off the floor, making sure to keep your feet together.
- Without moving your shoulders or legs, use the strength of your abs to roll to your right side until your back is on the floor and you’re facing the ceiling. Remember, your hands and feet never touch the floor!
- Slowly roll back, keeping the belly button pulled in toward the spine throughout the entire movement.
- Aim for 10 repetitions on each side
