Ditch the crunches for flat abs! Try these exercises instead!

Pretty much all of us want a perfectly flat stomach. I don't know about you but the idea of doing endless crunches bores me to tears. But crunches work only one aspect of your abs anyhow. To get tight abs with the nice v shape and outlines on the side, you need to work you whole core including your transverse abs and your obliques. Here is one amazing exercise to get your abs in shape for the bikini weather! The exercise works your whole core including your transverse abs, which supports your spine and your rectus abdominals.

TIPS!

  • Maintain a straight line from knees to head.

  • Draw your belly button towards your spine.

  • Start by placing your forearms on the ball and drop your chest on your arms. Slowly extend your arms rolling the ball out, keep a straight line through your midsection and then roll the ball back in.

  • Aim to do this movement 10 times.

Have a read of an article I wrote that explains how the core works in more details show some awesome exercises that target the whole core!!!

Here is a great core workout right here! Give it a try!

My Top Tips to help you stick to your workouts!

It's easy to talk yourself out of working out! Even when you have the best intentions to work out, excuses are so easy to find - “I’m too tired” or "I’m busy," or "The weather is bad." Here are my top tips for staying in the game!

  1. On Sunday nights plan your week of workouts! Treat them like an event so make time for them in your daily schedule! Write them down in your diary and put reminders on your phone!

  2. If you workout in the morning, layout your training clothes and shoes before you go to bed so they are ready for when you jump out of bed

  3. If you don’t train before work Have training clothes and shoes in your car so you can stop by the gym on the way home from work

  4. Organise a active date/catch up during the week with friends or family. Other people will keep you accountable!

  5. Have a collection of workouts you can do in your living room for when the weather is miserable and you don’t want to leave the comfort of your home. My SophiaFIT Home Workouts are perfect for this!

  6. Set a goal! Write it down and stick it on the fridge or add it as a daily reminder on your phone. This will act as the driving force when you lack a bit of motivation!

If you are looking for the extra kick, send an email to sophia@sophiafit.com or click here. I would love to work with you and help you achieve your health & fitness goals.
