Strengthening your Core II

For the side plank, aim to keep your body in a perfect line for 1 minute straight. My first round lasted 12 seconds. Don’t worry, you’ll improve in a matter of days.

If there is one exercise to give you the fastest results, it is this. They are elbow and side planks, and they are phenomenal for strengthening your core. You'll walk taller, sit straighter and feel stronger. And don't worry women, it won't give you powerhouse abs, it will however get you tone in a matter of weeks.

Strengthening your Core I

Can you do this exercise? Try it.

The goal is to tighten your abs and keep your back in a straight line for two minutes. Easy right? Not at all. If you fall after 30 seconds, take a 45-second break and get back up there until you reach a total of two minutes all together.
