The following exercises are easy to do at home and will help your tummy look flatter within 3 weeks!

  1. Classic crunches. Lie face up and join your hands behind your head. Bring your legs to your chest and lift your head, neck and shoulders off the floor. Do 20 reps.
  2. Side crunches. Lie face up and join your hands behind your head. Bring your legs toward your chest and lift your head, neck, and shoulders off the floor by twisting your torso to the right and bringing your left elbow to your right knee. At the same time, stretch your left leg. Then return to your starting position. Repeat to the left and do 20 reps.
  3. Reverse crunches. Movement 1: Lie face up and legs slightly elevated. Make sure your hands are open in a V position outside the hips with palms facing down. Movement 2: Slowly lift your hips up and form an arch by bringing your legs up and toward your chest. Lower your body to its original position. Repeat 15 times.
  4. Turn. Start on the floor in a side plank on the right forearm with the palm flat on the floor and the left arm extended over the left shoulder. Lower the right hip to touch the floor and twist the torso until the shoulders are parallel to the floor by extending the left arm down and in front of your abdomen. Return to the original position. Do 20 reps on both sides.
  5. Scissors. Lie on your back with your body straight, legs stretched out while your arms are equally stretched out by your sides. Lift your legs alternately as if doing a scissor motion. Then do "scissors" parallel to the floor. Do 20 reps.
