Ab and stomach exercises

Beginner: Funky Abs

Our model Sarah, a trainer in New York City, keeps her abs tight by running intervals and biking and swimming regularly.

Targets: Abs, lower back

  • Stand with feet about hip-width apart, knees slightly bent, shoulders down.
  • Engage abs and tilt pelvis forward so back is rounded.
  • Return to center and then reverse the motion -- tilt pelvis backward so butt is sticking out. Do 15 reps; 2 sets.

Did the person writing these descriptions go to school? You are using incorrect terminology for pelvic tilts. If the pelvis tilts anteriorly or forward, the low back gets an increase in the amount of arch. If the pelvis tilts posteriorly or backward, the low back flattens or as you say "gets rounder".

Nice exercises and - as I agree to greatgranny91 - no pain in the neck! But it would be great to add "reversed" exercises here, which complement these ones. I'm talking about back exercises, e.g. like a Superman: http://www.stomachfat.com/ARTICLES/Health/Exercises/Superman.html (sorry, I forgot it's yogic name on Sanskrit). Because, you know, after a bunch of ab exercises it feels harmoniously to complement it with back muscles tension. You should write another article about it!

you need a key to reach a specific frame without having to wind slowly through three or four intermediate frames just to recheck a point of form.
