3 of my favorite tummy flattening exercises

 

Traditional Plank

Start in push-up position, palms under shoulders, feet hip-width apart, toes tucked. Push up so arms are straight, back flat. Hold for 1 minute; lower back to start.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Forearm Plank

(slightly easier!)

Get in push-up position, but this time with forearms on floor, elbows directly under shoulders. Lift hips so back is flat. Hold for 1 minute; lower to start.

 

 

 

Side Plank

(hits obliques more)

Lie on right side, right palm on floor, left hand on hip, feet stacked. Push up from right palm to lift hips, creating a line from shoulders to feet, and extend left arm to ceiling. Hold for 1 minute; lower to start. Switch sides.
