DOLCE DIET LIFESTYLE:
3 Do-Anywhere Tummy Exercises
by Samantha Coogan, MS, RDN, LD
Our midsections are one of the first places the eye gets drawn to and is often the hardest area to target. Try these do-anywhere exercises to help build a strong core and flatten out that tummy. These exercises are easy to do in hotel rooms, on lunch breaks or during commercial breaks.
Lunge Twist
• Stand with your legs hip width apart. Keep your knees slightly bent.
• Lift both your hands in front of you aligning them with your shoulders and parallel to the ground.
• Lunge forward taking a big step with your right leg and sit down so that your knees are at a 90 degrees angle from the floor.
• Your left leg should be placed backwards supported by the toes.
• Keep a neutral, upright spine.
• First twist your torso to the right and then to the left being sure to just twist the torso, not your legs.
• Repeat for 3 sets of 20
Plank Holds
• Start on the floor with your knees and elbows resting on the ground.
• Keep your neck aligned with your spine. Look forward.
• Lift the knees up and support your legs on the toes (as you would for a push-up).
• Contract your knees and keep breathing normally.
• Hold for 30 seconds to 1 minute. Repeat for 4 more sets.
The Sliding Chair
• Sit on the chair with your spine straight.
• Place both hands beside you with your palms by the side of your hips.
• Bring both your legs upwards so that your knees are close to your chest. Hold for 5 seconds. Do not bend forward or arch your back.
• Slowly bring your legs down and repeat. Repeat for 3 sets of 10.
