Getting that Bikini Body

Get ready for Bikini Season? Gained a few pounds during the winter and want to get it off before summer arrives. Check out some of these old school exercises to get into shape before summer. These are the same exercises I do at the gym. They really work.

Lower Abs Toner:

What does this do? Tones the lower abs, strengthens the lower back and core.

·        Begin with your hands slightly underneath your bum

·        Maintain a strong core, abs drawn in.

·        Bring your legs up to 90 degrees. Slowly lower them keeping your lower

back pressed into the ground.

·        Go just as far as you can, until your lower back is still pressed into the

ground.

·        Inhale on the way down, exhale on the way up! 10-20 repetitions x3 circuits.

Tummy Toner:

bring your hands behind your head, while

still pressing your lower back into the floor.
