Coach Nicole’s new workout DVD is available here: www.sparkpeoplestore.com A short abs and core workout using basic Pilates exercises (side plank, the hundred, etc). The workout is lead by Coach Nicole of SparkPeople.com, and she’ll help you build abs of steel.

This is a thorough routine for the abdominal muscles. The routine consists of exercises that isolate the three main areas of the core: the lower abs, the obliques, and the upper abs. Remember that it takes more than a solid ab workout to get a flat, toned midsection, however. Great abs happen as a result of consistent training that balances cardio, strength training, as well as a clean diet. For this workout, do each exercise for about 20-25 reps so that you do a total of about 200-300 reps for the abs (this is what I demonstrate in the video). The workout should be done 3-4 times per week.
