Flat abs beginner workout
Beginner's Guide to Flat Abs
You'll need a prop to help you through these exercises. The result: more muscles worked. Translation: flatter abs in less time. Complete all sets of a move, resting 60 seconds between reps, before continuing on to the next exercise.

Bosu angels and overhead lift
Posture payback: It stretches and opens your chest muscles, pulls the shoulder blades down and elongates the neck. “Your head will look lifted like that of a dancer,” says physiotherapist Julie O’Connell.
Lie face up on a Bosu with your bra strap hitting the centre of the Bosu, your knees bent and your abs engaged. Next, sweep your arms outward and upward, as if you’re making a sand angel. Hold this stretch for 30 to 40 seconds. To deepen the stretch, grip each end of a hand towel and hold it overhead for 30 to 40 seconds.

great info
Feedback time: I've been doing these exercises as the core moves to my abs routine for three weeks now - and they still leave me stiff the next day.
Are there any more of these moves you can put up?
Can we have this in a printer version please
Are there any other exercises you can use without the stability ball or bosu that will give quick results for flat abs?
What if you don't have a Bosu, what can you use?
