Holiday
Seasonal Hot YummY MummY TummY Tightener With Video Workout
Be sure to add
this exercise to your bag of Tummy Tightening
Tricks to help you “tighten” and “tone” your tummy for
the Holidays! All you need is a stability ball!
As always, consult with your Dr before beginning a new
workout or exercise routine. Get ready to work super
hard by not even Moving!
The Stability Ball Plank
is a static exercise (contract and hold) that will
challenge all the muscles that wrap around your core,
build endurance as well as strengthen your deep
abdominal muscles (transversus abdominis) and the
muscles in your lower back. When you strengthen your
core, you improve your posture, gain greater balance and
stability and help to flatten your tummy.
Your goal – hold for 30-60 seconds!
Get the most out of the plank by..
~ Lifting your upper body OFF the ball
~ Drawing your belly button in, as if pulling toward
your spine – this ensures you have engaged your deepest
core muscles but you are still able to breathe!
~ Check the alignment of your hips… make sure your butt
is not in the air nor do your hips sag too low. Your
body should form a straight line from head to toe.
Are You Shaking?
This is normal. Your body may begin to shake after a few
seconds of holding the plank position. This is simply
due to a lack of coordination and strength in your core
muscles.
In this case, start off with shorter intervals – holding
for 5 secs at a time. As you progress, within a couple
weeks you’ll notice significant improvement in your
ability to hold this position for a longer period of
time without shaking!
How long were YOU able
to hold the plank?
Need help?
If you are not ready for the Stability Ball Plank
– just practice the regular plank on a mat.
Burn More Belly Fat
Just to clarify – no amount of “ab exercises”
will burn the fat off your belly. This thinking is tied
to the myth of spot reduction. Fat loss is a total body
process. When you workout in ways that boost your
metabolism using Full Body Resistance Training Moves
you will begin to lose more inches, look more defined
and toned plus have an abundant amount of energy – all
in minutes a day!
Even Faster Flat Tummy Results can be achieved
when you cut out processed foods and sugar!
