AB EXERCISE
The weather is warming up, and for many people, that means it is time to work on that little bulge that has been taking up residence around the midsection since Thanksgiving. These several exercises can help you shed that excess turkey weight and flatten out that stomach in time for beach season. As with any workout routine, be sure to consult a professional before beginning and always warm up properly to avoid injury. Plank Side

Ball Roll
If you just quickly glanced at the title, you may have gone to find a
ball before reading on. If you did, you can go put it away, because in
this stomach exercise, you are the ball! First, sit on the floor and hug
your knees to your chest. Roll back slightly so you are balancing on your
tail bone and your feet are off the floor, toes pointing downward. Pull
your abdominals inward while rolling onto your lower back and the upper
part of your butt. Contract your abdominals and pull yourself back to
the starting position. Loosening your arms up may help if you find this
exercise too difficult at first.
Standing Crossover
As the name implies, you will need to stand up for this stomach exercise.
Position your feet a few inches apart. Put your arms out to the sides
and bend your elbows at a ninety degree angle so your fingertips are pointing
to the ceiling and your palm are facing forward. Contract your abdominals
and lift your right knee toward your left elbow, while at the same time
bringing your left elbow down toward your right knee. Touch the two joints
together, pause, then return to start. Switch sides and repeat for an
entire set.
These are just a few of all the stomach exercises for a flatter tummy out there. If you are looking to exercise your way, look for any exercise that works your core, especially the transverse abdominal muscles. Many components of Pilates are good for this also.
