Hone your hour–glass

To tighten up the oblique muscles for an all round terrific tum, lie flat out, head resting in hands, knees raised and your feet flat on the floor.

Raise your upper body, using only your abs to pull you up but this time twist, bringing your shoulder and ribcage towards the opposite knee. Make sure you twist from the waist working the oblique muscles down the side of your tummy. Then swap sides and twist the other way.

Smoothly return to the starting position and do 4–8 reps. Slowly build up to doing two sets of 8–16 reps.

Tips: This is all about toning the oblique muscles down the side of your tummy to give you the perfect hour-glass shape. So make sure they take the strain as you twist.
