Get to the Core of It!

Want to have an attractive, firm, flat stomach? You're not alone! But did you know that there's a lot more to your abs than just good looks? Your abdominal muscles are vital to almost every activity you do — from running and playing tennis to picking up a bag of groceries and standing up tall! Think of your abs as the "core" from which all your power comes!

So why not tap into this energy source? Make sure you do some type of abdominal-building exercise at least three times a week, whether it's the ever-popular crunches or the core-building moves of Pilates. Put working out your abs on your to-do list! Not only will you be stronger, but you'll enjoy the lean, sleek physique that goes along with fit abs!

The best part is that it won't be long before you see the results of your efforts — even if you've had a baby — because this muscle group bounces back fast once you get started. So get those abs moving!
