Tight Tummy Exercises

1. Lay flat on your back on the floor with your arms flat on the floor to either side of you. Your arms should be slightly out from your body.
2. Raise both of your legs straight into the air so that they’re at a 90 degree angle from your body. If it’s tough to keep your legs straight, you can bend them slightly. This is your starting position.
3. Now using your core/abs pulse your legs into the air as high as you can. Your butt should come off the ground.
4. Now lower your butt/legs back to the starting position.
5. Repeat for the desired amount of reps.

1. Get down on the floor and lay on your right side. Place your right arm out in front of you in a V shape, so that your upper arm rests flat on the floor and your hand is touching the left side of your stomach. Place your left hand behind your head so it makes a V shape with your elbow out to your left side.
2. Now exhale and lift your left leg straight up into the air while lifting your torso up into the air. Try to get your left elbow as close to your left leg as possible. Your body will make almost V shape in the middle of the motion.
3. Bring your body back down to its starting position.
4. Repeat for the desired number of reps, then switch to your left side and repeat.

1. Get down onto the ground in push up position. Your back should be straight and your body should be held up with your hands and toes.
2. Keep you head forward and raise your right arm and left leg straight up into the air. Your right arm and left leg should now be slightly higher than shoulder width.
3. Bring your arm and leg down to starting position.
4. Now raise your left arm and right leg straight up into the air. Your left arm and right leg should now be slightly higher than shoulder width.
5. Repeat for the desired number of reps.

1. Get down onto the floor in plank position. Your body should be supported by your forearms and your toes – almost like you’re doing a pushup but instead of supporting with your hands, support yourself by laying your forearms flat on the ground.
2. Similar to doing a jumping jack quickly move back feet out to either side of your body.
3. Now slide them back to the starting position and repeat for the desired number of reps.

1. Place your back flat against a flat, study wall. Come down into a sitting position so your body is almost like a chair, with your torso perpendicular to the ground and your hamstring parallel to the floor. Your feet should be flat and legs at a 90 degree angle.
2. Place your hands out diagonally downwards on each side against the wall for additional support.
3. Hold this position for the desired amount of time.

Leg lifts are a great way to build core and ab strength.

1. Start by laying down on the floor with your hands under your glutes. You can also use a bench by laying down with your legs hanging off. This will add resistance and challenge you during the movement.
2. Keeping your legs as straight as possible, left one legs up until it’s perpendicular to the floor
3. Hold for a second before bringing this leg back to your starting position. Switch then repeat with your other leg to complete one rep.
