This fab ab workout from celebrity trainer Steve Zim, co-author of
6 Weeks to a Hollywood Body (Wiley), will help you whittle your middle into sexy shape. For best results, do three sets of 20 repetitions every other day. To really optimise this routine, don't rest for more than 30 seconds between each set.
| ALTERNATING CRUNCH |
Lie flat on your back with your arms extended overhead, legs straight. Contract your abs and, in one move, lift your right leg and left arm straight up and stretch your left hand as far as you can toward your right foot. Return to starting position and switch sides.
MAX THE MOVE: Hold a one-kilogram weight in each hand for more resistance. |
