Tummy Tightener Exercise Program -- By Christopher Guerriero

The foundation portion of the program will last 6 weeks. During the first week, you will train your abs twice. During the second week, you'll increase that training to 3 times per week. And during the final four weeks of the program you'll expand your workouts to cover 5 days.

* Lying Leg Raises (lower abdominal exercise) - first complete 4 sets of slow, high tension work. Each set should be done to muscle failure; in other words, you can't do any more repetitions. Rest a minute between sets.

* Reverse Crunches (full Abdominal exercise) - after finishing the lower abdominal exercise, move on to the reverse crunch exercise. You should follow identical directions for this exercise.

Do not be surprised if your lower abs fatigue far more quickly than your upper abs. And do not be disappointed if in the first couple of weeks you are only able do a few repetitions for each set.

Your abdominal muscles respond quickly to training and in no time you will begin to feel your muscles getting far better tone.

Feel free to change the exercises that you do daily or you may stay with the ones that are suggested here.
