Lose your belly bulge

These innovative moves will help whittle your waistline in just 10 minutes a day

Targets shoulders, back and core

Lie facedown on mat, with hands above head, elbows slightly bent, palms facing each other. Inhale, then exhale to lift upper body (from wait up) off mat, bending back as far as possible, keeping arms by ears. Hold for 1 breath; lower. Do 2 sets of 1 reps

Targets abs, obliques, lower back, glutes and thighs

Stand with feet shoulder-width apart. Lift arms straight overhead, palms facing each other. Engage abs and bend upper body from waist to right while lifting left leg until side of body is almost parallel to floor, straighten up; switch sides and repeat. Do 2 sets of 20 reps alternating sides

Target abs, obliques and lower back

Stand with feet just wider than shoulder-width apart and hips facing forward. Lift arms straight overhead, palms facing each other. Engage abs and bend upper body from wait to right, keeping shoulders down and hips still. Lift back up through center, then bed left. Do 2 set of 20 reps, alternating sides

Targets abs

Lie face up on mat with arms overhead, elbows slightly bent, palms facing each other, legs extended. Engage abs and lift shoulder blades off mat while lifting legs a few inches. Keep eyes on pelvis, toes pointed and upper body still as you scissor legs up and down 20 times total.

Targets abs, thighs and quads

Sit with legs extended, abs engaged, hands behind head, elbows out to side. Lift legs about 2 feet and lean back onto butt.

Flex feet, bring heels together and bend knees into chest (like a frog); straighten, keeping back tall and heels together. Do 2 sets of 15 reps
