WORKOUT FIVE: TUMMY & CORE

TUMMY TUCK Good for: Strengthening abdominal muscles

1 Lie with knees bent, feet flat on the floor and shoulder width apart. Place your hands on your thighs. Pull your tummy in, push your waist into the floor and tilt your pelvis forward.

2 Breathe in and as you breathe out, curl your upper body and lift your head and shoulders, sliding your hands towards your knees.

3 Breathe in again and with control, slowly lower back down. Repeat the movement, building up to 10 times.

CRISS-CROSS Good for: Toning the waist

1 Lying as before, place your left elbow on the floor and your hand on your right temple.

2 Tilt your pelvis and breathe in. As you breathe out, lift your head and shoulders up and reach over with your right hand to touch your left knee. Breathe in, relax back and repeat on the other side. Alternate sides and repeat 10 times.

TUMMY STRETCH Good for: Stretching the tummy muscles

1 Lying on the floor with knees bent, extend both arms out to your sides with palms facing down. Keep your feet in contact with the floor throughout.

2 Breathe in and as you breathe out, twist from your waist to take your knees to the left. Keeping your shoulders on the ground, turn your head to look to the right. Relax for a few seconds.

3 Breathe out slowly and return to the starting position before repeating on the other side.
