No 6-pack yet, but no muffin top either! |
1) Yoga Plank Pose: Make like you’re going to do a (full) pushup, but don’t lower yourself down. Hold the position for 30-60 seconds. Lower to the floor and rest for a moment. Do 3-5.

2) Criss Cross Crunches: Start in crunch starting position. Breathe out, draw your navel to spine, and lift your right elbow to your left knee while drawing your left knee in. Your other leg can float extended a few inches off the floor. Hold briefly, inhale while lowering down, then crunch again lifting your left elbow to right knee, with right leg extended and floating slightly off the floor. Do 30-40 (15-20 per side).

I did 3 Yoga Planks (2 minutes, 1 minute, 1 minute), 40 Criss Cross Crunches, & 3 x 40 second Planks. My belly protested but I told it to shut the hell up!
