I'm so happy to report that all the "dimples" around my ab area are GONE! I still have work to do - but I'm seeing results so it keeps me motivated. I haven't done a sit-up/crunch in 4 weeks! I read an article from U of Michigan (which was right in my backyard for many years) - that highlighted some of the more effective ab exercises … the plank, reverse plank and side plank. The first week of doing the side plank was a nightmare because I had very little balance. Now I can go a minute on each side! The reverse plank is harder for me as it hurts my shoulder. There is also a technique called "the vacuum" which you can do anytime anywhere - I try to do them while driving
The other super favorite is the stability roll out and stability curl up. I don't have a stability ball at home so I use a towel on the floor - and it works. Think of the ad for the "ab wheel".
Here's to swimsuit season! Have a great 4th!
