SUPREME FITNESS TIP OF THE WEEK:
ANOTHER 15 MINUTES WORKOUT!
Snug tops and
low-riding pants make the need to lose love handles and have a lean
waist more apparent than ever. But there's an even better reason to aspire
to a trim midsection: your health. A waistline of 35 or more inches puts women
at risk for life-threatening conditions such as heart disease and diabetes.
Smart eating, aerobic exercise, and ab-tightening moves such as the ones below
will help you lose love handles and keep you out of the danger zone.
The moves target the
obliques on the sides of your torso. Do two or three sessions a week, with
a rest day between workouts.
Seated Knee Drop
Keeping your spine
straight, sit back on your sit bones with your knees bent and feet flat on the
floor, ankles touching. Place your hands on the floor behind you for
balance.
Contract your
abdominal muscles, and lower your legs to the left until they are about 6
inches from the floor, keeping your ankles pressed together and your shoulders
forward. Your feet will roll, but they should stay on the floor. Hold for a
second, and then use your abs to slowly pull your legs up and over to the
right. Don't let your knees simply fall to the side; keep the move controlled.
Repeat from side to side for 1 minute.
Side Crunch
Lie on your right side
with your legs extended. Wrap your right forearm across your waist and rest
your right hand on the left side. Bring your left hand behind your head, so
your left elbow points toward the ceiling. An easier version: Don't lift your
leg; lift your upper body only.
Using the obliques on
your left side (not your right arm), pull in your abs and lift your right
shoulder off the floor about 2 to 3 inches, while raising your left leg about
12 inches. Hold for 2 seconds, and then slowly return to the starting position.
Start with 5 to 8 reps on each side, and work up to 12 to 15. Do one or two
sets with 1 minute of rest in between.
