DOLCE LIFESTYLE:
\n3 AB-solutely Simple Core Exercises<\/h2>\n

by Samantha Coogan, MS, RDN, LD<\/h4>\n

With the flow of the holiday season, our midsections may have taken a toll. Now, of course to shed fat around the midsection, you\u2019ll need to do more fat-burning types of movements along with a touch of cardio. Remember, that when we work a muscle group, we cause hypertrophy (muscle growth), which means more crunches won\u2019t make your abs visible, it will simply make those muscles grow. You\u2019ll be building them underneath, but that fat layer will need to be minimized in order to see them. So along with your regular strength training and cardio sessions, try out these ab defining movements to maximize on all the hard work you\u2019ve already put in.

Side Plank<\/h3>\n

\u2022\tStart by lying on one side with elbow directly under shoulder and legs stacked on top of each other.
\n\u2022\tPlace opposite hand on hip.
\n\u2022\tEngage abs and lift hips off the floor until you are balancing on your forearm and feet (body should be diagonal).
\n\u2022\tHold for 45 seconds to 1 minute (if you can\u2019t hold it straight through, work up to a total of 45 seconds to 1 minute in the plank position).
\n\u2022\tRepeat on the other side, and complete 2 more sets each side.

Walkout from Push-Up<\/h3>\n

\u2022\tStart in a push-up position with hands approximately 2 inches from the shoulders.
\n\u2022\tWalk your hands out as far as possible, then walk them back.
\n\u2022\tRepeat for 3 sets of 10-15 reps.

The Roll Up<\/h3>\n

\u2022\tStart lying on the floor on your back.
\n\u2022\tRaise your arms up straight so that they are perpendicular to the floor.
\n\u2022\tNow sit up into an upright position, keeping arms straight (they should now be stretched out in front of you parallel to the floor.
\n\u2022\tRoll back down to starting position.
\n\u2022\tRepeat for 3 sets of 10 reps.
