How do I get rid of this spare tire? Well, it’s not an overnight choir, it’s a long term goal, but you will realize the results in 4 weeks.

If you don’t have time or the equipment you can be creative. I am going to share something that is easy to do without the effort of going to the gym or buying expensive abdominal equipment. The best place to work on your stomach muscles is in your bed, yes I said bed! The bed provides the benefit of less strain on your lower back and more muscle groups to attack.

How do I utilize this approach?

1. Lay in your bed with a pillow under your knees, keeping your knees approximately 6 inches off the bed.

2. Bed Crunch: This builds upper abdominal muscles. Raise your upper body 6 to 8 inches from your bed with your chin close to your chest and hold it for 5 seconds. You should start to feel tremors in your stomach area. This is the beginning of the ultimate stomach burn. Make sure you feel the tremor.

3. Perform 3 sets with each set at 10 repetitions per day.

4. Leg Rises: This will build your lower abdominal muscles. Sit down on your bed naturally and lay back. Raise your legs until they’re about 10 to 12 inches above the bed. Hold each leg raise for a count of 5 seconds with your legs together, than open your legs and do another count of 5 seconds. Repeat this for 3 sets at 5 repetitions per set. It’s important that you feel the tremor or burning, if not lower your legs slightly until you feel that shake.

You can accomplish this exercise all in the comforts of your bed without any expensive equipment. Remember muscle burns calories!
