Get a Fit Tummy...With an Invisible Easy Move

I get a lot of emails requesting fitness tips and moves, with a common complaint being: but I don't have a lot of time. There are a lot of relatively easy and quick fitness moves that you can do in the comfort of your own home. With a little commitment and consistency, you will quickly see toned results.

A common 'problem' zone for women is the tummy. An incredibly easy move is the ab squeeze, which can be done while in bed, in the car, standing in the kitchen, in the shower, watching tv...{you get it, anywhere}.

Ab Squeezes + Easy Ab Workouts + Belly After Babies + Abs + Fun and Easy Workouts
{breath...squeeze...hold...exhale...repeat.}

1) Take a deep breath and relax all your abdominal muscles.
2) Then exhale and pull them in as hard as you can{Make sure you feel every muscle squeezing}.
3) Hold for several seconds.
4) Repeat. Try to do at least 3 sets of 10 squeezes a day.

Have Fun!

  6. I used to do this every day a few years back. I always did it when I was brushing my teeth and read somewhere that it's one of the things that Madonna does...well, if it's good enough for Madonna. ;)

  11. I do this all the time, and I'll even admit I include kegels... when I pulled my hammy earlier this year, that was one of my PT's prescription exercises for me. A strong core equals balance :)
