Stop Muffin Top: Rockette Plank
Targets: Abs and obliques
-
Start on ground in full push-up position, balancing on hands and toes, hands directly below shoulders, legs extended directly behind you so that body forms a straight line from head to heels.
- Bend right knee in to chest and bring it across body to left side.
- Then extend right leg so that right foot is out to side of left leg. (MAKE IT EASIER: Remain with knee bent, skipping the extension.)
- Bend right knee in toward chest, and bring right leg back to start.
- Switch legs and repeat to complete 1 rep.
- Do 3 sets of 6 reps.

you can't spot reduce, but you can tone certain muscles with these exercises. The title was "Tone your Trouble zones" it didn't mention anything about losing weight or fat. There are some women that don't have weight to lose but want to be more toned.

3/15/2011 04:30:30 PM Report AbuseIt's great to incorporate strength training, but you can't spot reduce through it. You have to lose overall fat to get rid of muffin tops, fat thighs, etc. I know your magazine has published tidbits on not being able to spot reduce, why backtrack and give inaccurate advice?
