Denise's Daily Dozen (74 page)

  Tuck your pelvis up and down. Time: 1 minute.

 
CHALLENGE:
Bring your legs together while tucking, which targets your inner thighs, too.

10. Leg Scissors

Create a bikini-worthy belly!

  Lie on your back with your legs extended straight up toward the ceiling. Place your arms by your sides with your palms on the floor and lift your head, neck, and shoulders off the floor. Slowly lower your right leg down so it hovers about four to five inches off the floor. Then as you bring it back up toward the ceiling, lower your left leg. Flatten out your tummy and point your toes. Time: 1 minute.

 
CHALLENGE:
Place your hands behind your head.

11. Cross Lift

Melt those “love” handles that we hate.

  Begin in the same position you are in for the leg scissors, with your hands behind your head. As you bring the left leg up toward the ceiling, extend your right arm up toward it. Then as you bring your right leg up toward the ceiling, extend your left arm up toward it. Time: 1 minute.

 
CHALLENGE:
Twist your upper body and opposite shoulder to the opposite leg.

12. Can Can

Oh yes, you can can get great abs!

  Sit on the floor with your hands behind your back and your legs bent and lifted off the floor. Straighten the legs as you bring them to the left. Then bend them and straighten them as you bring them to the right. Keep alternating. Time: 1 minute.
