Nicki's fitness tip: Cross arms and Curl
Get tough with your tummy.
Lie with your back on the floor your knees raised and your feet flat on the floor. Cross your arms over your chest, with each hand on top of the opposite shoulder.
Inhale, then start to lift your head neck and shoulders. Your elbows move towards your thighs with your chin resting on your arms the whole time.
Smoothly return to the starting position and do 4 reps. This curl is tough so start slowly build up to doing two sets of 8–16 reps.
Nicki's Tip: To get the best results for your tummy don't use your arms or your shoulders, let your abs take the strain.
