The Lose 10 Pounds in 30 Days Workout

Amazing Ab Flatteners

These exercises target abdominals -- plus tone hips and hamstrings.

Perfect Your Form
Take this quick crunch refresher: Lie on back, knees bent, feet flat on floor. (For the moves below, you'll start with feet lifted, knees bent 90 degrees, shins parallel to floor.) Place hands lightly behind head, elbows out to sides. Contract abs to lift shoulders off floor, then lower.

Make It Easier
Keep one foot on floor during moves.

Turn Up the Burn
Do the crunches and leg movements at the same time instead of alternating them.

Ab-Flattening Exercise: Alternating Abs

From crunch start position (feet in air), straighten left leg directly over hip while keeping right knee bent.
Using abs, lift hips to pulse legs up. Lower.
Keeping legs still, crunch, then lower to complete 1 rep.
Do 15 reps. Switch sides; repeat.
