After the summer, toning is the goal! With these 3 special poses for your waistline and abdominal muscles, you'll get back into shape gently... and maintain it. 

For a flat stomach…

• Lie on your back, place your hands on your lower abdomen and lift your lower legs off the ground, parallel to the ground.
• Inhale and as you exhale, lower the tip of your right foot to the floor.
• Inhale again and bring your knees together.
• On exhale, point the left foot towards the ground.
• Repeat 10 times on each side.
   

Tip: Be careful not to lift your lower back off the ground, keep your navel toward your spine.

… Try this one too!

With the plank pose, the entire body is toned and the abdominal muscles are highly engaged. At first, hold the pose for 30 seconds a day, then increase the time gradually! Hang in there, progress comes quickly.
 

Tip: Place your shoulders above your wrists and BREATHE!

And for a wasp waist!

• Position yourself in a right-side plank.
• Stretch your left arm toward the sky, lifting your hips as high off the ground as possible.
• Hold for 30 seconds, then switch sides.
   

Tip: Hold the pose longer each time!
