 Target the upper and lower abs, and get rid of those love handles! I recommend at least 100 reps, 4 sets of 25

Difficulty Level: Beginner/Intermediate
Muscle Group(s): Abs / Obliques
Equipment: 2 paper plates, mat
Progression:  Lift both legs off ground, bend at knees

Preparation:

  Feet flat on ground, shoulder width apart

  Press low back into mat; imagine filling a bucket, tilt pelvis towards you
  Lift your shoulders completely off mat, hold and touch chin.

 Place hands on plates, with each plate outside of heels.

Movement:

From the start position, place hands on paper plates

While contracting abs, push or slide plates towards your toes at a fast rhythmic pace:   
 Tempo: 1-1-1   

Repeat movement sequence for recommended repetitions

Keep spine in place. Do not generate movement from arms and/or shoulders. The movement should originate from your abs.  Really lock in and focus!

For Obliques: Simply slide plate on alternating sides. Hold that stomach tight! Make each rep count!
