Answer 1

I scanned the image from the mag, but it didn't turn out too well so here are the steps:

1. cross knee lifts: A. Using a sturdy table or steps of a staircase, place hands slightly more than shoulder-width apart. Stand on balls of feet (like in a push-up) B. Lift knee across stomach, turning hips. Repeat on other side= one set. Do 20 reps.

2. Leg Lifts: A. sit on edge of chair with knees bent and soccer ball at feet. Raise your knees up bringing feet off floor. B. Use abs to lift legs up and over ball, but never let feet touch the floor. To complete rep, return feet to position A. Do 6 reps.

3.Knee-to-elbow lifts: A. Lie on mat with left hand behind head. Bend knees; place feet flat on floor.B. Use your abs to lift elbow to right knee (don't just turn elbow in). Do 15 on each side.

4. Curl-ups: A. sit on floor, hands flat and slightly behind you. Start with bent knees and feet off floor. B. Lean back, extend legs (not all the way) for one count. Return to start. Do 12 reps.

5. Dead Bug: A. Lie down holding a 2-lb.weight in each hand. Start with left arm overhead and left knee lifted. B. Take five seconds to lower left limbs as you lift right arm and right leg. Do for one minute.

They say to do these moves for fifteen minutes three days a week.

Hope this helped!!
