Quickly firm your abs with the exercises below! Add more repetitions as your body becomes accustomed to the exercises; however, don't overdo it.

Each tactic takes less than 10 minutes and positive results are less than four weeks away - guaranteed! So...do you have 5 HOURS a MONTH to spare??

*** TACTIC #1 ***
With your torso straight, sit on a high-back sturdy chair. Place your arms behind you, supporting your lower body. Now extend your legs and point your toes. Hold for 5-10 seconds. Slowly bring your legs up to your chest, squeezing your abs and buttocks. Hold for 5-10 seconds. Repeat the set 5 to 10 times each day.

*** TACTIC #2 ***
Lay flat on your back, lock your hands behind your head. With your knees bent and slightly slightly apart, slowly raise your upper body towards your knees. Hold for three to four seconds then slowly return to the starting position - no jerking. Start with 2 sets of 10 reps, each day.

*** TACTIC #3 ***
Lay flat on your back, with knees bent and slightly apart. With arms extended, slowly raise your upper body towards your knees. Reach as far as you can. Hold for three to four seconds then slowly return to your starting position. Start with 2 sets of 10 reps, each day.
