Exercise #3: Around-the-World Abs . Lay flat on your back with hand beneath your hips to protect your sacrum. Lift your legs six inches off the ground. Keeping your legs and feet straight and together, start to draw a circle with your toes by moving your legs clockwise so that mid way through the rotation your legs are at a 90-degree angle. Once your legs reach a 90-degree angle contract your abs and lift feet up towards the ceiling. Then continue the circular motion, making sure your legs don’t touch the ground. Repeat this motion for 10 reps, then rotate counter clockwise for another 10 reps.

FIT TIP: Don’t focus on abs just during your workout. Try to implement abdominal conditioning throughout the day. Contract your abdominals with every movement while sitting at your desk, walking around at home, or even while doing other exercises. Keeping your abs engaged with support your 6-pack development by training the muscles to work even when you’re not in the gym.
