Start- Start in an upper push-up position. Your hands are directly under you shoulders and your feet are together. Keep your back as flat as possible. Your head and neck are in line with your spine (you should be looking at the ground).
Go For It- Stay in this position as long as possible. Just count those seconds!
Tips and Techniques-
- Remember to breathe!
- Pull your belly button into your spine.
- If you feel this ab exercise in your lower back, lift your derriere up into the air a bit.
- When you cannot hold on for another second, come down to all fours (hands and knees). Then recline back so you are sitting on your heels. Then bend from your hips so that your head is resting on the ground. This is a called Child's Pose.
- This is my favorite ab exercise of all time. It works the inner most ab muscle called your transverse abdominuls.

When you decide you want to improve your appearance and develop a powerful abs region, you probably focus on the gym. However, your best ideas should concentrate on your kitchen, for it is here that your dreams can be fulfilled.
Daily visits to the gym and regular workouts will be wasted if you don't make changes to your eating habits. Keep a food diary for a week, recording all the food and drink you consume. Analyse its contents for protein, carbohydrates and fats, either using information from the packaging or the internet. Find out how many calories you take in daily compared with what your optimum intake is for your preferred weight. You must cut down the amount you eat each day but eat more smaller meals. This increases the metabolism which raises the rate that fat is burned.
