Natural Solutions (formerly Alternative Medicine) offers a way to fight ab flab, without having to endure the monotony of hundreds of wearisome crunches or sit-ups. Here are three other ways you can trim your middle:
1. Swing, baby: Tennis, anyone? The twisting motion in your torso when you swing your racquet gives those hard-to-target oblique muscles a workout. Running across the court and to the net is also a cardiovascular exercise that will help burn those love handles.
2. Just squeeze: The next time you're waiting for a train, stuck at a red light, or in a meeting, contract your abdominal muscles and hold for 15 seconds. (Remember to breathe.) Repeat five times or until your abs are fatigued.
3. Hit the mat: With poses that work all the muscles in your stomach sides, and back, the ancient practice of yoga can help beat the bulge. Plus, yoga has been shown to improve posture, which helps create a longer, leaner appearance.
