Abs


Want to lose that belly flab? Choose two to three exercises a day and do at least thirty of them. It's important that you do not just focus on the abs, but also work your body by doing additional cardio and strength training.

Suggestions: 
Russian Twists
Crunches
Side Crunches
Reverse Crunches
Sit ups
Leg Raises
V Sits
Mountain Climbers
Knees to Elbows
Burpees
Plank and Side planks
