Two minutes to a flatter tummy

With most women, extra weight tend to be carried around the hips and stomach. Your core muscles can be a challenging part of the body to strengthen especially after having children or surgery. Even though weight loss is a gradual whole body process and you can choose where you want to shed weight from, incorporating exercises that targets specifically your core is great for overall toning.

PRESS-UPS

Start in a high plank position with your hands a little bit wider than shoulder-width, and your hands in line with your shoulders. Bend your elbows to lower your body towards the ground, keeping your core muscles engaged and your back flat-you want your body to lower in one straight line without your hips sagging. Do as many as you can in 30 seconds.

SIDE PLANKS

Start by lying on your side. Prop your body up on your elbow and forearm, then push off your feet and arm so that your body is hovering off the ground. Keep your body in a straight line without your hips sagging towards the ground. You can rest your other hand on your hip, or raise your hand towards the sky. To look after your neck and keep your body in alignment, look straight ahead. Hold the plank position for 30 seconds, and then switch to the other side.

OPPOSITE RAISES

Start on all fours with knees directly under hips and hands under your shoulders. Extend your right arm straight out in front of you, and your left leg out behind you,keeping both in a straight line with your torso. Hold for 3 seconds, and then return to the starting position before doing the other side. Continue to repeat for 30 seconds, working your hips and back as well as core muscles.
