Fab tummy toner: sick to death of doing crunches? Try this. (Buff).(exercise suggestions)(Brief Article)
THE MOVE TO MASTER: THE PLANK
Lie flat on the floor on your stomach (1). Prop up your upper body on your elbows, keeping your head and neck in alignment. Next, come up onto your knees with your toes on the floor. Finally, lift up onto your toes with your abs tucked in to support your lower back (2). You should feel exertion in your shoulders, legs, and abs--not your lower back. Make your neck long by pulling your shoulders down and back. Also make sure that your body is perfectly parallel to the floor. Hold for 45 seconds, return to the floor, and rest for 10 seconds, then repeat twice. Do every other day for results in eight weeks.
