Day 9 - Clarita's Three Minutes to Tight Abs

Tight Abs in Three Minutes

I pulled this video from our archives because many of you have asked me to recommend the best way to target the abdominal area.  Make sure you support your neck by placing your hands at the base of your skull while you crunch.  Try doing these "three minutes abs" after your leg kicks, which I demonstrated on Day 8. 

Now I have to tell you the truth.  You can do these crunches until the cows come home, however, you will never do enough of them to burn away belly fat.  You need to address your body's fat holistically. There is no such thing as "spot" reduction, fat burns uniformly throughout your entire body.  You must increase your metabolic rate by reducing caloric intake and increasing caloric expenditure. That is your best approach to getting a flatter abdominal area. 

Don't forget to do some back strengtheners afterward to counterbalance the crunches.  These are difficult exercises, so take your time building up to this level.  I demonstrate a cobra sequence which requires keeping the knees off the floor.  Beginners, please feel free to touch your knees down.

Do what you can and slowly build up to higher levels of difficulty as you progress through your 90-day challenge.

Have fun!  Be the best you can be today and every day.
