You don’t need fancy machines or millions of sit-ups to get rock-hard abdominal muscles. By simply blowing out your air and crunching down as if you were compressing your chest into your pelvis while you’re on the treadmill (or just walking around the block), you can get a fantastic ab workout.
I came up with this idea a few years ago, and use it almost every day. You can work on your interval training and get that six-pack stomach at the same time. Two birds, one stone.
Here’s how to do it. While walking, blow out your air. Contract your abs and hold that contraction for two to three seconds. Then take a deep breath. Do 10 to 15 reps. That’s all there is to it!
