Core blimey!

They say abs are made in the kitchen... but here are some exercises that I hope will help me develop my abs and banish the love handles!

Do three sets of 15 repetitions of each exercise unless otherwise stated!

  1. Crunches - with a weight on your chest
  2. Reverse crunches - with weight on your hips
  3. Russian Twists
  4. Scissors - double these to 30 (crossing one leg over the top then the other =1) - use ankle weights
  5. Flutter kicks - double these to 30 reps (only count one rep each time the left leg is on top) - use ankle weights
  6. Spiderman Planks  - use ankle weights (one each side = 1 rep)
  7. Swiss Ball leg lifts
  8. Mountain Climbers
  9. Cupid twists - use weights
  10. Side dips - hold one arm out to the side with a weight (lock it in place) have a heavier weight the side you dip to.  3 sets of 15 reps on each side

Tabata - 20 seconds of exercise - hard as you can go - 10 seconds rest x 8.

Sumo punches - sumo squat position, keep hips facing forward, punch across body to alternative sides.
