One of my favorite ab exercises is the half-jackknife. This exercise will not only strengthen your core and tone your abs, but it can make your waist look narrower by targeting the sides of your abs!
To perform this exercise,
> Lie faceup on a mat with your legs flat on the floor and your arms extended overhead
> Crunch up until your shoulder blades are off the mat
> Simultaneously, raise your right leg to 45 degrees
> Reach your left hand toward your right shin
> Lower your body to the starting position
> Complete 12 repetitions and then switch legs and repeat
* To increase the effectiveness of this exercise, perform while laying on a Bosu and/or with a 5 pound dumbbell in hand!
