Butterfly Abs
This is an ab exercise which allows you to work your deep abs and get a flat and sexy tummy :-)
1. Sit comfortably on a gym mat or carpet with your legs crossed.
2. Don't worry if you aren't very flexible at the start. As you progress in your ab sessions your knees will eventually reach the ground so that you create the perfect butterfly :).
3. Place your hands under the nape of your neck. Inhale through your nose.
4. Raise your bust a few centimeters (approx. 10 cm) while exhaling through your mouth (not forcefully).
5. Repeat 25 times, and as you progress, move up to 50 times. Yes, you can do it!
6. Caution: Do not push your head with your hands as this puts you at risk of injuring your neck. The purpose of your hands is only to keep your head in alignment with your back and shoulders. You don't want to curve your back like a turtle!
7. Do this exercise 4 times a week.
