Your abdominal muscles are your power center. The stronger they are, the stronger you are. Solid abs will help you to lift, bend, twist, balance, and coordinate all your movements. They can even lend your spine added support and enhance your posture. To get soft, toned stomach muscles, try this belly routine:
Step 1: Lie on your back. Cross your legs, flex your feet and raise your legs to a 90-degree angle. Extend your arms toward your toes and keep your chin up.
Step 2: Breathe steadily as you crunch up, reaching toward your toes through a count of 10 seconds.
Step 3: Hold and squeeze for 2 seconds at the maximum tension point.
Step 4: Lower yourself back to starting position, keeping your shoulder blades from touching the ground, through a count of 10 seconds.
Step 5: Repeat three times without resting.
