Abs Workout for MILF

Yes, the good old crunch with a small modification. While this is probably everyone's least favorite exercise, it is great for toning your abs and is easily adjusted to suit different fitness levels. Start out by lying on your back with your legs up straight in the air. Gently place your hands behind your head with your elbows on or near the floor. Contract your muscles, and lift your head and shoulders off the floor keeping your elbows parallel with your ears. Don't push it; as soon as you feel it in your abs, stop. Hold that position for 10 seconds. Begin by repeating the exercise 5 times. As your abdominal muscles become stronger, you should increase the number of repetitions up to 10 times.

The wonderful thing about abs is that the time needed to devote to their improvement can be done in as little as 10 to 15 minutes a day. For a mom, this is perfect. With a towel, mat or carpeted room, your ab workout can be done while the children play, sleep, and crawl. RT delves into the basics which are the true foundation of an effective ab workout. She points out, “Women need to recognize that abs development is a delicate balance of resistance exercises, cardio and diet. Without all three progress is slow.” I hope you enjoy this series. It’s an excellent tool and starting routine for abs.

Begin in a pushup position (on your knees, if need be). Remember to keep your shoulders over your hands. Do one pushup and then bring one hand in close to the other hand. Do another close-handed pushup. Keep your arms tight into your body. Repeat a regular pushup and then a close-grip one. Do this exercise for one minute.

Begin in a normal squat position with feet shoulder width apart. Perform a regular squat, keep your chest pointing forward. Pretend you're sitting in a chair—stick that booty out! After performing the squat, bring one leg in close to the other, and perform a squat. Next, bring the opposite leg out to a regular squat position. Do this exercise for one minute.
