The Flat-Abs-Fast Secret....

Shhhh...it's a stability ball.
Try these six moves and you'll have a tone tummy in no time.

=====================================================================
 
SIDE SCULPTOR- Lie faceup with ball between feet. Roll onto right hip and elbow, left hand flat on floor behind you. Squeeze ball and lift legs as high as you can (as shown). Hold for 1 count; return to start for 1 rep. Do 12 reps; switch sides.
 
 
RAD ROLL UP- Lie faceup, heels on top of ball, arms extended on floor above head. Engage abs and slowly roll up to touch fingertips to toes (as shown). Reverse movement for 1 rep. Do 12 reps.
 
 
BELLY BUSTER- Sit on ball and lean back with hands on floor behind you, palms down and turned out, legs extended. Bring right knee toward chest (as shown); return to start. Repeat with left knee for 1 rep. Do 12 reps.
 
 
CORE CLIMBER- Start in a plank with forearms on ball, hands clasped. Pull right knee up to touch ball (as shown), then quickly return to start and repeat with left knee for 1 rep. Do 12 reps.
 
 
BALL CYCLE- Lie faceup with hands behind head, elbows out, ball between feet, legs extended above floor. Lift left shoulder and crunch right knee to left elbow (as shown). Return to start; repeat on opposite side for 1 rep. Do 12 reps.
 
 

WAIST DEFINER- Lie faceup on ball, knees bent, arms extended above head. Crunch up as you pull an imaginary rope with right arm (as shown), then left arm. Continue until you're sitting. Reverse movement to return to start for 1 rep. Do 12 reps.
