23 Mar Best 5 Minute Abs and Flat Belly Workout with Natalie Jill
Enjoy this 5 Minute Ab and Flat Belly Workout
All you are going to need is a carpeted floor, mat and water.
And remember, no crunches! I’m not a big fan of crunches!!! In less than five minutes, using your own body weight, you will get a killer ab workout while strengthening your core!
1. Let’s start in plank position on forearms and toes, making sure to squeeze those glutes. Pay attention to your form and take that C-curve out of your lower back. Hold that plank as long as you can (as an alternative move, you can rock back and forth).
2. Side to Side – Take that toe and tap side to side
3. Up + Down Plank – Start in plank position and go up with each hand and then back down on your forearm
4. Side plank – Leaning on your forearm, lift your hips up and hold. For more of a challenge, bring that leg up and hold. Flip over and do the other side!
5. Shimmies – Keep that lower back flat to the ground (pretend an elephant is stepping on your tummy), bend your knees, point your fingers toward your toes and shimmie side to side, working those oblique’s.
Oftentimes people ask, “how many reps should I be doing?” It’s not about the amount of reps, it’s about how INTENSE you’re doing the exercises and whether or not you felt it. If you felt it, you’re doing a great job! Do it until it burns. If you liked these exercises, don’t forget to comment below.
