Blast Belly Fat – How to Get Abs! (Day 5)

Blast Belly Fat – How to Get Abs!

9. BICYCLE CRUNCH

This move targets the rectus abdominis and the obliques.

  • Lie flat on the floor
  • Press you lower back into the ground.
  • Place your hands lightly behind your head.
  • Bring your knees in towards your chest and lift your shoulders off the floor (most of the lifting should come from your shoulders not your neck)
  • Bring one knee up to a 45-degree angle, keep the other leg straight and slowly perform a bicycle pedal motion with your legs.
  • Simultaneously, touch your left elbow to your right knee, and your right elbow to your left knee.
  • Continue alternating sides in a ‘pedaling’ motion.

10. INCH WORMS

The exercise targets the hip flexors, obiques and other muscles which are recruited to aid stabilisation as you move through this exercise.

  • Start from plank position as though you are going to do a push up
  • Walk your feet towards your hands in little steps
  • At the point which you have to start bending your knees, start walking your hands (instead of your feet) forward in little steps until you have returned to the plank position.
  • Repeat for the exercise for 1 minute.
  • Posture: Keep your head in alignment with your back.
  • Important: Do this exercise slowly, as it is the controlled movement which engages your core.
