So, you're after a nice hourglass figure hmm? Well, I'm Kelly Borowiec, Fitness Expert; I'm going to teach you some fabulous exercises you can do to target your abs and obliques. So, this first exercise is called Nazis. But, I promise it's really not that bad as the name might make it sound. So, to do a Nazi, you want to lay down on your back and bring one knee up. You take your hand, put it through your knee and grab the outside of your foot. Now, you want to take your other leg and extend it out and take your other hand and place it behind your head. Now, you want to lift your chin and crunch up, concentrating on bringing your shoulder to your foot that's closest to your chest. So, you want to go for about 15 of these and take a break and switch sides. You want to aim for about three sets total and make sure to breath as you do this exercise; exhaling on the way up and inhaling on the way down. So, for this next exercise, just lay down on your mat again and you're going to point your knees towards the side and you're going to take your hands, put them behind your head, but you don't want to lace your fingers, just simply place them without them overlapping. Now, keeping your chin lifted, you're just going to crunch up and really flex your abs as you do this. So, you want to exhale on the way up and inhale on the way down. So, you want to go for about 15. If you want to make this more challenging, you can grab a dumbbell and hold it against your chest as you crunch up. So, after you're finished with one side, you want to change your knees to be on the other side and crunch up this way. So, this final exercise is a side plank. So, to do a side plank, you want to be on your forearm and you're going to lift up and you can stay on your knee if you're a beginner; if you're more advanced, you can straighten the bottom leg. And now, you want to lower and raise your hips up ten times. You're going to want to keep your abdominal muscles flexed and breath through this. Alright, after you finished with your right arm supporting you, you want to switch over to the left side and again, you can either do this on your knee or with straight legs. So, you want to press up, keep those abs tight and go for another set of ten. Alright. So, the, these are three different ways that you can work your abs and obliques to get a nice hourglass shape. I'm Kelly Borowiec, good luck with your training and enjoy your nice figure.
