I'm in pretty good shape except for my stomach. 3 kids later I don't exactly have the abs I used to. What are some really good ab exercises for toning I could do to help tone my stomach? I already do 100 crunches a day. I do 25 at a time 4x a day. However, I'd love to know more exercises that help. Give me some ideas! What worked for you? Thanks!

Answer
Abs can be worked out every day because they have great recovery time. Do roughly 12-20 reps depending on strength and endurance levels. Do 3-5 sets of each exercise.

Crunches
Altenating crunches(elbow to opp knee)
Reverse crunches(knees to chest)
Flutter kicks(lie flat on back with legs fully extended and heels >6in. off floor, then corss one leg over the other and alternate)
Bicycle kicks
Hanging crunches(chin-up bar)
Hanging reverse crunches(chin-up bar)
side bends(hold weight in one hand, then use free hand to touch knee while standing straight up)

How young can you start track bicycle racing?

Answer
Yes, as young as 7 check with the local cycling clubs.
