Ab toning exercise

This great ab toning exercise involves tilting your pelvis. Begin by lying on the floor. Keep your arms at your sides and your knees bent. Your feet should rest flat on the floor. Press your lower back to the floor such that your pelvis tilts upward – toward the ceiling.

Try to hold this tilt as you gently straighten your legs – do this by slowly sliding your heels along the floor. When you feel that you can no longer hold a full tilt position, stop. Count aloud to six before bringing one leg back up to the starting position, followed by the other. You should try to maintain the pelvic tilt throughout this exercise. Count to six once more before relaxing. Repeat for up to 10 times.

Experiencing discomfort?

Always stop if you experience any discomfort or pain and remember that the more fit you are, the more comfortable you will feel when exercising.

Get a physical trainer

If you do not know where to start or how to put a suitable workout routine together for yourself, seek the assistance of a physical trainer. There may be many available at your local gym.

Consult your doctor

Always remember to consult with your doctor before starting any new exercise regime or making intense changes to your current one – especially if you suffer from any medical conditions and for some reason are required not to place your body or yourself under any form of stress or strain.
