5-Minute Flat-Belly Toning Video Session
I was looking back at some past notes and bookmarks and wanted to share this one with you today…
It’s from the creator of Get Lean for Women, Belinda Benn
This is a short session you can literally do anywhere. The one thing I’d suggest is a good floor mat though – to make it gentle on the back.
Your 5-Minute Flat-Belly, Ab & Core Toning Video Session (Step by Step Instructions)
The 5 ab/core exercises she demonstrates are:
1 – Crossed Leg Reverse Crunch: 10-15 reps per side
2 – Feet to Ceiling: 12-15 reps
3 – Crossed Arm Twisting Crunch: 20 (alternate sides)
4 – Jeri Curl: 20 (alternate sides)
5 – Standing Core Twist: 20 each side
(And here is the ‘shorter’ version without the long intro)
This short session ( focusing on the belly/love-handle areas ) can be done as a ‘stand-alone’ ab/core routine, at home, at the office – or when traveling. Or you can add it to any of my routines/programs that you may already be following.
Also – if you like Belinda’s vibe & approach – then I’d encourage you to try her full program as her methods are a congruent fit with any programs you may be following from me.
Her methods resonate with many women – especially those beyond middle-age – as Belinda herself is now part of the “50” club – and representing it VERY WELL!!
Let her inspire you – and other women you might know – by sharing today’s post… and then taking a peek at her highly effective and enjoyable method:
Any questions – just post below 🙂

Joey,
Thanks for posting Belinda’s 5-Minute Flat-Belly Toning Video Session. Just seeing this after coming back from a 10 day Sailing trip in the BVI’s. I look forward to using the exercises to help rid some the fun I had on that trip and to get me ready for a healthy 2016!
Sweet! Keep me posted 🙂
I LOVE that it is not scary, lol!! I mean, anyone can benefit from this, regardless of their fitness level and customize it some.
My question is: even though this is not a total body workout, do you think it would be okay to start doing this (as in JUST this) for a little while until I get my apprehensions about exercise and how-will-I-ever-get-through-20-minutes-of-working-out-almost-each-part-of-my-muscle-groups type of anxiety somewhat tamed?
The thing is, people can be out of shape not only physically, but emotionally as well and getting around to finally doing something is often much harder than the workout itself.
That is precisely what appealed to me in this short yet seemingly effective video.
To ease getting – back – into it, one could almost pretend it is not like a true session; just a quick interlude in the day in between household chores as a way to cross over the psychological barrier sometimes preventing individuals from taking on the daunting task of “getting back in shape”, “start SERIOUSLY training” or “losing the weight finally, no more excuses!”.
I personally find there is so much pressure associated with those concepts that they can actually be detrimental, for some routines, some exercises are more easily attainable when removed from the demands and expectations promoted by the fitness industry.
Not everybody is a type A personality. Not everyone is cut out for a boot camp, military style. And again, not JUST because of one’s fitness level, but also and mainly because we are all mentally shaped differently.
And it seems like we have forgotten that to train properly, the major muscle we need functioning at its optimal level is our brain.
Sorry for the out of context digression Joey 🙁
No need to be sorry Catherine! This is PURE GOLD – and I thank you for taking the time to write this!
My worthy reply will be coming soon – I promise! 🙂
Hi Joey – I had difficulty with the crossed reverse leg crunch, and it felt like it hurt my back. I’ve tried a couple of times. Will I get stronger? The jerk curl is also difficult, but I think my abs are probably weak. Wondering if I should “press through” or not? I could only do about 5 crossed leg reverse crunches.
No – don’t “press through”.. ONLY do what you can – and don’t do what you can’t… The key is gradual progression. As time progresses and you continue – you will become more fit/stronger and able to do more of the exercises in these mini sessions…. Make sense?
Yikes I tried the cross leg crunches and can’t even get my bum off the floor!!!
Skip that one for now 🙂 …do the other moves and try x-leg rc in a few weeks!
interesting and short; that is encouraging. i had never thought of reverse crunches before. I cannot wait to get a flat belly.
Wow this lady looks amazing. I’m definitely going to add her moves into my routine. I think it’s important to note that those kind of abs come over much time and hard work as well as following a healthy diet. Unless the fat comes off the abs, the muscles won’t be seen.
Consistency is the key 🙂
Hi,
I’m a fitness trainer and I’m always looking for ways to spice up my workouts and mix it up not only for my clients but also myself. The exercises are extremely challenging, effective and are crushing my abs. I’m hopeful that by staying consistent, I will begin to notice an even stronger core and beautiful sexy abs like yours.
Thanks so much and keep up the great work.
Karen J!!

Thank you Joey!
Total pleasure! 🙂
Per molto difficile ancora, però grazie ci riuscirò
Prego!
