The Ultimate Ab Workout
Exercise 1: Leg raises
Lay flat on a mat with your arms at your sides and legs stretched out. Then, slowly raise your legs, keeping them as straight as possible, until they are pointing towards the ceiling.
Then lower them back down slowly until they’re hovering just above the ground. Guess what? You have to keep on repeating those same movements for three sets of ten reps. Abs here you come.
Exercise 2: Leg scissors
Start lying on your back with your arms next to side and legs pointed into the air. Slowly criss-cross your legs over each other, and keep on doing this movement continuously for a full minute.
Exercise 3: Medicine ball twists
Sit on the floor and bend your knees but have your feet flat on the floor. Lean back to a 45-degree angle, and hold the medicine ball with both hands out in front of you. Slowly twist your torso to your right and touch the medicine ball on the floor beside you. Then, twist to the opposite side and touch the ball on the floor beside you. Keep on repeating this process for 3 sets of 10 reps each side.
Exercise 4: Hands to feet
Lay flat on the floor and have your legs pointed into the air. Hold the medicine ball to the sky with both hands, and lean forward to try and touch your feet with the ball. Then, lean back into the floor. Keep on repeating these moves quickly for 3 sets of 10 reps.
Exercise 5: Tuck to stretch
Lay on the floor and hover your feet above the floor. Grab a medicine ball and stretch your arms out behind your head, then, do a sit up movement whilst bending your knees into your chest. Whilst doing this, pass the ball in between your knees, and then lie back down. Then, do another sit up movement but this time grab the ball from between your knees and stretch it back behind your head. Keep on repeating this for 3 sets of 10 reps.

Katarina says "I need plenty of protein in my diet to support my training routine and help my body recover. Müllerlight can help with this as it's packed with protein and the new recipe is deliciously thick and creamy. I like to get creative with my Müllerlight and top with a mixture of berries, a sprinkling of nuts and seeds and a drizzle of honey."
The new Müllerlight yoghurt is thicker, high in protein, fat free and has 0% added sugar. Get your very own 6-pack of Müllerlight (get it, ha?) in supermarkets now.
