Abdominal action plan

Do you want to get your abdominals in shape? Here is my two-part plan to guide you on your way to success.

PART ONE:

Burn off body fat with aerobic exercise.

Get on your bicycle, start swimming, walking or anything that'll get your heart rate up, for 30 minutes a day. You want to work hard enough that you're a little puffed, but can still carry on a conversation. I believe it's great to get the heart pumping for 30 seconds even if you're not very fit: use intervals of hard and easy for 30 seconds at a time - and work up to 1 minute and even 3 minutes intervals.

Try jumping from side to side or skip rope for 30 seconds.
Follow up with a squat exercise or standing push-up against the wall and then start all over again.

These explosive exercises are fun and get you feeling young and energetic.

PART TWO: to be presented in the next blog.
