Ballerina ABS!

In order to have really fantastic abs, you have to push yourself to the NEXT level! Your average crunch will not do the trick. I found this workout on fitnessmagazine.com and it is reallllllllly fantastic for your core and will help to define your abs even more! I cannot tell you how much of a difference it has made in my workout. I highly recommend it...

DO IT:

• Sit on the floor and extend your legs, pressing them firmly together
• Lean back 45 degrees from the hips
• Keep your abs engaged as you bring your arms over head like a ballerina
• Slowly twist your torso to the right, placing your right arm on the mat. Keep your left arm reaching overhead for a slow count of 3
• Repeat the movement, keeping your left arm on the floor, and keeping your butt and heels on the floor
• Contract your abs to support your spine as you return to the center, bringing both arms to overhead
• Continue alternating sides doing 2 sets of 6-10 reps on each side
