Tighten your tummy with these exercises
For best results, complete the moves at least three times a week.
A combination of cardio, strengthening, and toning exercises are sure to make you break a sweat and get those endorphins going no matter where you are.
To tighten your tummy, you need to work your entire core, meaning all the muscles in your abdomen. For best results, complete the moves at least three times a week.
Sitting
Sit on a bench or chair and place both hands on your abdomen. Inhale and expand your belly, feeling your hands move out.
Exhale and contract your abdominal muscles, imagine pulling them in all the way to your spine. Maintain the contraction for 30 counts, to make sure you don’t hold your breath, count out loud. Then do 10 small squeezes.
Lie on your back
Lie on your back, knees bent, feet flat on the floor.
Inhale to expand your belly, and then exhale to contract your abs toward your spine. Tuck your chin and raise your head off the floor, counting aloud to two.
Return to the starting position for two counts. Repeat 10 times.
Standing up
Stand at arm’s length from a wall, with palms flat against the wall. Inhale to expand your belly, then exhale and draw it toward your spine.
Press against the wall in a push-up, keeping your elbows close to your sides.
As you push back to the starting position, contract your abs even more deeply toward your spine. Repeat 20 times.
