THE PLANK!!!!
It's painful - but it's VERY effective- and it tones up the Transverse Abdominals too (core stability for your lower back).
You lie face down, and prop yourself up on your elbows - then you push your legs up so you are on your toes - it's kind of like a pressup position - but you are on your elbows not your hands. Keeping your back/bum/legs as level as possible you hold that position for 1/2 a minute to 1 minute. If you feel ANY pain in your lower back, lower your knees to teh round, but keep squeezing in at the stomach.
The plank will give you the leaner ab look, as well as evetually firm up the 6pack!!
"Enjoy" xxx
