Spring is just around the corner which means summer is on its way. It's time to get your abs bikini and swim trunk ready. Let's get started:

Crunchless Ab Exercises... FitSugar has '5 Crunchless Ab Exercises' that you can get started with right away. You can do most of these exercise at home, too.

Pilates... The Fitness Guru says "Pilates, pilates, pilates and a healthy diet. When it comes down to actually seeing the abs there can't even be 1/8 of an inch of fat or they'll be hidden by it. That's really tough when you think about the average person. Cutting out white starches, junk food of any kind and sugar is key. Pilates on the equipment and mat work with a physio-ball are the answer for an "Ab Reveal" workout."

Yoga... Yes, yoga poses can help your abs, too. Yogi Kathryn Budig says "Navasana and friends! The ashtanga style pickup and jump back will create a ton of strength and discipline. I teach my students to soften their rib cage and "control the sassy bottom." People like to stick their bums out, which takes it into the lower back and makes one lose control in the core. Try to move through every single yoga pose with awareness of the pose, and that will keep you fired up. Don't forget the Breath of Fire breathing technique -- or, best of all, laughter!"
