We've asked around for some abdominal excersize tips and come up with the following 10 minute abdominal workout:

2 minutes - Streching:

1. Stretch by sitting with your feet outstretched in front of you, leaning over diagonally to touch your feet (don't worry if you can't make it at first, you'll get there eventually!).


2. Put your right foot accross your left leg (fold your right leg over), next to your left knee.


3. Then hook your left elbow behind your upright right knee and twist to the right to stretch your lower back. Do the same towards the other side.


4. Alternate these excersizes within the two minutes and make sure you always feel comfortable, don't overstretch at first! We're stretching the back (and also your abs) which work as opposing muscles.

3-5 minutes - Crunches (Upper abdominals):

Many people hate crunches. There is a reason - something that's good for you is often not nice to do!

1. Lie on your back (put a soft duvet or blanket on the floor) and pull your legs up so that your knees are upright.


2. Put your hands to your ears (don't hold them, just keep your hands close to your ears!).


3. Now do diagonal crunches, by squeezing your abdominal muscles, lifting your head slightly and moving your elbows, one at a time towards the diagonal knee.


4. You'll feel your abs crunch - good, right?!


5. Do this for about a minute and a half.


6. For the rest of the time, do straight crunches by moving both elbows towards your knees and lifting your head slightly, squeezing those abs.

2 minutes - Abdominal Muscle Stamina:

Ok, here comes the hard part, you're almost there!

1. Lie on your stomach with your legs straight, next to each other.


2. Get up on your elbows, beneatch your torso, so that your upper arms are at a 90 angle with your lower arms.


3. Now get up on your toes and elbows and straighten your body.


4. Hold that position until you can't hold it anymore. You've got to at least hold it for 10 seconds. Your end goal will be 30 seconds.


5. Do 3 repetitions.

2 minutes - Cardio:

Get a low flat object about the height of a step, which is steady to take your weight. (You get great workout steps at most sport stores). The cardio is for weight loss and to loosen up those muscles again.

1. Step one foot up.


2. Step the other foot up.


3. Step on foot down.


4. Step the other foot down.


5. Get a good rythm going - listen to some hyped up music to get yourself going.


6. Continue for longer if you feel comfortable.


7. Try listening to your whole favorite dance song!

Daily health improvement tip: Walk the stairs lazy! Ok, ok, if you work on the 20th+ floor, ride the lift and walk the last 3-5 floors' steps. It'll make your legs stronger and and get your heart rate up, which is the ultimate goal for burning excess fat.
