I did side planks for my obliques, which are one of my trouble areas. And traditional planks tone your back so you don't have that little bit of fat hanging over your bra. Ugh!
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Working your obliques pulls everything together and gives you a slim waist.
Planking is not as easy as you think, but it was very addicting to do in public! I liked the fun attention from the people when planking.
My go-to prebikini flat-ab move is the plank, all different types.
I used to design for my body, which was flat-chested with big hips. That's why my clothes were tight on top with full skirts.
I'm a little top heavy, so I have to pay attention to that area. I think it was from my years of swimming in school when I was a kid and it just overdeveloped my upper body. In fact, when I started modeling, my back was so developed, I could not fit into any dresses.
I've been taking a trapeze class for the last couple of years. I'm working on my double back flip right now.
I do abs every day: regular, weighted crunches and sit-ups every other day, then my obliques and my sides on the alternating day. So I'm working my core every day.
I wish I did something like yoga or Pilates. All the people I know who do it tell me it's incredible.
I got my boobs done because I wanted to even out my lower half, and I thought that would take the focus away from my hips.
I do Pilates because it's important for me to have a healthy back when I'm 70 so I'm not hunched over and in pain.
