From flab to fab: No gym needed!

Leena Mogre: Your abdominal muscles are covered with a layer of fat. Weight training and aerobic exercises help you get rid of that fat. The abs muscle is a non-jointed muscle from top to bottom.
Exercise 1
Abdominal crunches
What you will need: A mat
While doing this exercise, you have to contract (draw together or shrink) all your abdominal muscles.
1. Lie down and put your thumbs behind your ear.
2. Let your palms rest gently on the sides of your head - do not put any pressure, just let it rest gently on the side of your head.
3. Your chin should come into your chest.
4. When you come up from your position you need to exhale. Do these crunches as long as your muscles feel comfortable.
If you feel your muscles strained or feel pain in anyway, stop exercising at once. This holds true for any exercise that you do.
 Leena shows you how to get those washboard abs. |
