Wings, Thighs and a Six-​​Pack!

This Sunday before the big game, warm up while the players do. Wings, thighs and a six pack can actually make you healthier and hotter this weekend with my 3-​​part Hard Core Abs move. (I do this one in my new Hard Core Abs DVD too. Get it at www​.nikkifitness​.com).

Triceps thigh plank:

Start with a light weight, sneakers and a mat. Lay on your right side with a light weight in your left hand. Balance on your elbow/​forearm and right knee/​shin. Lift the hips up into a modified side plank with the top (left) leg straight. Raise the straight left leg up and down with a flexed foot, toe forward sneaker paralell to the ground. (This part of the move targets the hip abductors, or outer thighs.)

Position the left hand and weight over your shoulder, reaching for the sky. As you lower the left leg, bend the elbow to lower the weight behind your neck, being sure to keep the elbow pointed up and directly over your shoulder.  Lift the weight back to the sky as you lift your leg.(This part of the move works our triceps, or wings!)

Lift and lower hand and leg together for 15 reps, keeping torso and hip off the ground and abs engaged (forming that six pack)!  Do this 3 times during pre-​​game or during the commercials after kickoff for a tight end, accurate arms and abs that score.
