Exercise of the Week

(Photos will later be provided)

Sit-ups is one of the most common talk about exercise. It's simple, easy-to-do, and you can do it in your own home, or anywhere. It's learned in high school, personal training routines, and has expanded over time into a variety of ways to accomplish the, 'flat-stomach' swim suit look.

This exercise is fun, challenging and will show results. Just grab a towel or mat from the closet and lay it out on the floor.

1.) Lay down flat on your back and interlock your fingers behind your head. (prepare for doing a sit up) This time you won't need someone to come and hold your feet to the ground like in high school gym class.

2.)Lift up your body, not all the way towards your knees, and use your core (abs) to life you up so there's no strain on your neck. You don't have to be lifting up very high either, when or if you start to shake then you're working your core muscles.

3.) Then lay back down, but not so your head touches the ground again, but so that your core muscles are still engaged. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for at least 2 sets (15-18.) A break can be taken in between if needed.

After this just lay back on the ground and finish your workout, add to it or whatever you want to do. But this move will help you gain results that you want. It's not over night, and consistency is the key rather than the intensity of your working out. You can sweat all you want, work out for hours on end, but if it's only one time a week, than it's not exactly considered consistency. Eating healthy is also half the battle. That's another story though.
