Ab-tastic Advice

Saw this in my magazine and thought I would share. A good way to get great abs - my fav is the perfect plank.. :) Enjoy!

Here are some really great ab workouts....

Zero in on the O.
Not that kind... lol. We are talking about your obliques, the muscles on the sides of your waist that, when targeted, can help melt a muffin top. "Working your obliques pulls everything together and gives you a slim waist."
Lie on your back with your hands behind your head, elbows out. Life your legs to the tabletop position (knees and hips bent 90 degrees). Raise your shoulders off the floor as your bring your elbow to your right knee. Lower, than repeat with your right elbow and left knee.

Perfect the plank
The plank works your abs and everything else. To do it..
Hold the upper position of a pushup, keeping your arms straight, back flat, and neck long. Hold for 60 seconds.

Give yourself a raise
Can work legs and abs....
Lie on your back, arms at your sides. Brace your abs, then left your legs until they're perpendicular to the floor, keeping them pressed together and as straight as possible. Slowly lift your tailbone and inch off the floor. Reverse for one minute.
