Totally Ab-sessed: Your favorite six pack workouts

 

Check these out, too...

  • 4 things that are killing your cardio workout
  • GL's Bikini Body Boot Camp is now in session!
  • Short shorts-approved moves for toned legs

When we asked GL readers to spill their favorite gut-busters, the response was overwhelming. You girls love to torch those tummies—here are your best-ever moves for getting a six-pack in no time flat.

 

 

Perfect Pikes

“Lie face-up with raised legs until perpendicular to floor, feet flexed and hands lightly behind head. Lower right leg so it hovers one or two inches off floor. In this position, do 15 crunches, lifting chest toward ceiling and lowering back to start. Switch legs and repeat.” – Taira N., 13

 

Get Pumped!

“I listen to one of my favorite upbeat songs while I lay on the ground and do about 10 crunches. After about 10, I switch to side crunches. It makes me feel good about myself, and, knowing that, I do more!” – Taylor N., 14

 

Roll With It

“My favorite is so much fun, you won’t even realize it’s an ab workout. Sit with your knees up and your arms around them. Next you gently fall back, the roll yourself back up! Do about 20 a day.” – Kaitlyn G., 15

 

Do the Hula

“My BFF and I discovered Super Hula Hoop for our Wii Fit. One night, we decided to have a competition with a couple friends. All the girls said it was really fun—and they totally got a workout. It’s a blast to play with friends, family or just beat your own score.” – Emily P., 14

Try dancing along to any beyonce music video. She is always moving. I recommend love on top and single ladies, because they are so upbeat and fun

after I do crunches or sit ups my neck hurts. Is this normal? If not, what am I doing wrong?

 

Crunches shouldn't hurt your neck. Make sure that you're using your abdominal muscles to pull you up instead of your back or neck. Cross your arms over your chest instead of putting them behind your head to relieve some pressure from your neck.

Take the stairs more than once. When you’re at home, run up and down the stairs three or four times before heading to your room. It’s a sneaky way to stay active.
