This is the 15 minute workout that flattened, shaped and toned my belly in just two months! These exercises work your deep core abdominals and obliques, to give you the flattest stomach and a more defined waist, in the shortest amount of time. As always, this workout is challenging but definitely doable, perfect for women over 50, and suitable for all exercise levels.
Equipment: All you need is one dumbbell or a melon!

Some Questions & Answers:
1. "How often should I do this workout?"
Abs are little different to other muscle groups, in that you can work them every day if you wish. Especially the deep core abdominals that stabilise your trunk and protect your back from injury. Even if you don't wish to do the whole workout, I suggest you do some planks most days.
2. "These exercises hurt my back. Should I stop?"
You should never ignore pain when you're working out. If you're following my instructions (contracting your abs, pressing lower back into the floor etc) and still feeling back pain, I recommend you consult your physician. On the other hand, strengthening your core helps to protect and strengthen your back, so if you are able to do even one of these exercises without pain it would be beneficial.
3. "I do 100 situps a day and I don't have abs. What am I doing wrong?"
Believe it or not, everyone has abs - it's just that in many cases they're covered up. Reducing excess belly fat is the key to revealing a toned, flat stomach, and that can only be achieved with a weight reduction diet.
4. "How do I lose weight and get rid of belly fat after menopause?"
