Here are the final 2 exercises as promised and remember, don't forget the cardio. Do that in combination with these 4 moves and you'll get the quickest results. Here we go...
Scissor kicks
- Lie face up with your knees and hips at 90-degrees
- Straighten one leg and lower this foot towards the floor keeping your stomach tight and your back flat to the floor
- Just before this foot hits the floor, bring it back to the starting position
- Repeat on the other side
- Repeat x 15 each leg
- Be extra vigilant about your back staying on the floor
Reverse crunches
- Lie face up with your knees and hips at 90-degrees
- Tighten your lower abdominal muscles to bring your knees closer to your chest
- Your lower back will lift off the floor
- Lower your legs to the starting position but don't allow your knees to travel too far forwards
- Avoid any arcing of the spine by keeping your abs tight as your knees come forwards
- You should feel the pinch in your abs but don't be tempted to swing backwards and forwards.
- Repeat x 15
Great post. I've tried doing all the moves you've recommended and my tummy is aching so much today! I think that's a good thing...when are you going to do one for thighs (wobbly!).
