Our previous series of fitness videos showcased two simple workouts that’ll help you get toned arms and thighs, so you must be looking pretty fabulous by now. In the final episode of our three-part online get-fit tutorial, we’re focusing on yet another tricky body part – the abdomen.

We know how frustrating it can be when our stomach gets in the way when all we want to do is to wear a crop top or midriff dress. And we’ll admit it, not all of us have rock-hard abs that are ready to receive the attention bestowed upon Calvin Klein underwear models.
