Exercises to strengthen the abdominal muscles
 Elegant feminine silhouette is unthinkable without a clear line taut tummy and waist. However, a sedentary lifestyle, lack of exercise and unhealthy diet is not going to benefit a beautiful figure. If you want to proudly wear separate swimwear and trousers with a low waist, the next set of exercises for you.

Before proceeding to the main part of the workout, warm up muscles with workouts. It may be a little jogging, jumping rope, and even dancing in front of a mirror. Remember that starting any exercise should be no earlier than one and a half - two hours after eating.

Classic exercises designed to strengthen the rectus abdominis, - lifting the torso from a prone position. Lie down on the gym mat and bend your knees, feet resting confidently in the floor. Hands pull ahead or lay his head. Try to pull your shoulders and chest off the floor, but make sure that the waist remained pressed against him. Not pausing once again return to the starting position. Movement should be short and elastic. Make the maximum possible number of repetitions without stopping as soon as you begin to feel discomfort in the press. A little rested take another approach.

If you want to work on the oblique abdominal muscles, it is necessary to slightly modify the previous exercise. The starting position is the same: lie on your back, place your feet on the floor, knees bent, place your hands behind your head. However, raising the torso does not move in a straight line, and diagonally. One approach, follow, turning to his left leg, the other - bent to the right. This exercise allows you to make a relief tummy and waist - narrow.

Lower abs often are overlooked, even though they simply pull up. Lie on the floor, straighten your legs and arms stretched along the body. Then bend your knees and pull them towards your chest. Take care to the pelvis and shoulders were firmly pressed to the floor during the exercise. When you can easily do a large number of repetitions, try to complicate the exercise: to simultaneously pull the bent legs and chest on the floor; the upper torso, trying to elbow hands behind his head, touch the knees.
