The Tummy Tuck Twenty

There are so many opportunities to get in a bit of exercise throughout the day.... We can park further away or choose the stairs. We may do a few lunges while we make dinner. This week let's work on a specific area that takes no special equipment, postions or movement and yields fabulous results with practice! 

The Tummy Tuck Twenty is no surgical cure for our muffin tops!  It is a simple method of toning our mid to lower abs, flattening our tummies over time.


Here is how it works:
While seated or standing, draw in your abdominals. Feel as though you are squeezing into your "skinny jeans" and pull your belly button inward and upward. Hold this muscle squeeze (isometrically) for 20 seconds. Release and repeat throughout your day.  Do NOT hold your breath while you do this - the focus is on the abdominal muscles only. The Tummy Tuck Twenty works by building muscle tone in your rectus abdominus (middle abs) and helps to keep the belly toned and tight. 

There are so many easy times to get these in. Try it while you sit at a stoplight, brushing your teeth, standing in line, sitting at your desk, etc etc...Keep a tally and get in 20 Tummy Tuck Twenties each day this week!

Have a Fit and Fabulous Week!
