Two Steps to a Tighter Gut

Karen Voight, the L.A. Times wise mistress of workout tips, recommends a this inhale/exhale routine to tighten up a disobliging midsection:
1. Lie face up on the floor: With both arms extended,
hold a large stability ball above your chest. Bend your knees over your
hips with your calves raised and parallel to the floor. Inhale.
2.
On the exhale, raise your shoulder blades off the floor and straighten
your right leg in front of you to 45 degrees. Rotate to the left,
moving the ball to the outside of your left knee. Inhale, pause for two
seconds, keeping your shoulders lifted. Exhale, then straighten your
left leg and bend your right knee, moving the ball to the outside of
your right knee. Continue alternating sides without lowering your
shoulders for a set of 10 reps (5 to each side). Then bend both knees,
lower your head to the floor and relax.
