I’ll admit it: During the holidays I often end up picking family time over gym time, so I usually start the new year with a slightly softer tummy. My yoga mat is the first place I turn to get back on track. I love this sequence—Dog Split to Lizard Lunge toTwist to Downward Dog to Jump Lunge—because it works all the major muscles in the ab region plus packs in some cardio to burn off the extra fat on top.
Go through the sequence 3 to 5 times, 3 days a week, giving yourself a day’s break in between (for faster firming, you can add in 2 more days of doing the routine without the Jump Lunges). I do this series in the morning to boost my metabolism—and to remind myself that I’m on my way back to a super-toned middle.
