Did You Know...in the U.S. alone, Americans spend as much as $115 Million dollars each year just to improve the tone of their abdominal muscles? Absolutely, it's true! They're spending money on exercise equipment, (Stowers Report, 2008). What can you do about a sagging belly today, without breaking the bank or purchasing heavy exercise equipment (which usually gathers dust in the corner of your bedroom or basement)? Get ready. The answer isn't sexy.
Sit-Ups! I hear you groaning already but don't lose heart. 1) Perform 25 each day for the first few weeks...moving up to 50 reps/per day for as many days as your body allows. In a few month's time, you'll have a stronger mid-section. 2) To add encouragement, have someone you love sit on your feet (like a child or a spouse). 3)Keep your back and neck straight, look up to the ceiling with each lift..., don't forget to breathe. 4) Sometimes, the best exercises are the simplest ones.
