Synopsis

Her Flat Stomach Plan contains a healthy diet plan plus the key ab exercises to transform flabby bellies into super firm abs.

Sales Handles:

A low calorie diet alone will not slim down your midsection- once the diet ends and you go back to your old habits, your body responds by regaining the weight and slowing down the metabolism. To really succeed you need to exercise the abdominal muscles too.

Nicki’s plan goes beyond the usual ‘sit-ups’ and ‘crunches’, with a range of workouts that tone all of the muscle groups needed for a flat stomach.

The programme is based around a set of workouts that get gradually more difficult, so readers can progress through the stages.

Nicki’s healthy eating plan is not a starvation diet, but a sensible, easy-to-follow guide to healthy foods that are good to eat, making it easy to understand and stick to.

The book contains a wide range of workouts- beginners, intermediate, advanced, the Fab Abs challenge, exercises to strengthen and support the back, workouts post-pregnancy, the belly-dancing workout as well as warm-up and cool-down routines.

Synopsis:

Nicki Waterman, GMTV's fitness presenter and the "Inch Loss Island" personal trainer, has devised a plan for achieving a flat stomach with just a 5-minute workout each day. It contains a healthy diet plan plus the key ab exercises to transform flabby bellies into super firm abs. There's no point in just depending on a low calorie diet alone to slim down your mid-section. Once the diet ends your body responds by regaining the weight and further slowing down the metabolism. To really succeed you need to exercise the abdominal muscles too. The plan goes beyond "sit up s" and "cruncheez". The midriff region actually contains many different muscle groups, all of which need toning if a perfect flat abs are to be acheived. These workouts ensure each and every midriff muscle gets exercised, so the programme has every chance of being totally effective. The healthy eating plan included with the exercises is a sensible, not a starvation, diet. It contains foods that are good to eat - so that it should be easy to follow and to stick to.
