The Joy of Exercise

All of these ten exercises are good workouts for your stomach flattening program. It’s just that you can’t do eighteen exercises every day and hope to do much of anything else.

When you substitute one exercise for another, circle that exercise’s number on your workout chart. You may need to reduce the reps on a new exercise and you may not. If you’re at the eight rep step and you get a new exercise, you may want to drop it back to four and work it up to your level on the others.

Or you may be getting in better shape and can pick up the new one at the level of the others, because you’re getting leaner and meaner and stronger at the same time.

Here are ten alternate exercises:

DOUBLE LEG SIDE UFTS

Lie on your right side, one arm stretched out with your head resting on it. Legs together. Left hand palm down on floor beside your chest.

Keep legs together and lift them six inches to a foot off the floor. Hold for three seconds.

Slowly lower legs to start position.

Repeat doing required number of reps.

Turn on other side and repeat the exercise doing required number of reps.

MY DOWN FOOT TO FINGER

Lie on your back with your legs together. Push out your arms fully on each side on the floor.

Lift right leg to vertical.

Keep knee from bending and swing right leg to the floor to touch your left fingers.

Return leg to vertical, then lower to floor to start position.

Do the same exercise with your left leg.

Repeat for the required number of reps.

RISE UP AND TWIST

Lie flat on the floor on your back, bend your knees upward, lock fingers behind your head.

Gently curl up into a sitting position. First draw your chin toward your chest, then lift your torso upward with stomach muscles. Back should be gently rounded.

Twist your upper body and touch your right elbow to your right knee.

Return to starting position.

Repeat exercise touching left elbow to left knee.

Do the required number of reps.

(NOTICE: IF THIS EXERCISE HURTS YOUR BACK DO NOT USE IT.)

LIDE UP AND TWIST

Lie flat on the floor, legs together, arms stretched down middle of your body.

Lift your upper body off the floor as a sit up, and at the same time bend up your knees and slide your feet toward your buttocks. Stop at a 45 degree angle. Keep back straight.

As you curl upward, turn your upper body to the left and touch both hands to the floor on your left.

Return to starting position.

Repeat required number of reps alternating sides with the twist.

(NOTICE: IF THIS EXERCISE HURTS YOUR BACK, DON’T USE IT.)
