3. Pike and Dip
While in the plank position raise your butt in the air, like a pike and then dip down and turn your hips out. You will feel this move in the entire abdominal muscle area and even your back. Just be sure to perform this move slowly so you really feel the burn!
4. JackKnifes
Laying on your back with legs flat and arms straight up above your head, fold your body up to perform a jackknife. Jackknifes are a super effective exercise to tone and strengthen your abdominal muscles. Since this exercise is so intense you may find it difficult to perform one so feel free to start out easy and modify this with a one leg jackknife. Alternate raising arms and legs for 10 on each side.
5. Dancing Plank
As you get in plank position, shake your hips and raise and lower your body to the beat of some tunes. This powerful move is the dancing plank and although it feels like pure fun, it is actually super challenging. So dance it out to work your abs and whittle your middle away!
