I have discovered a good ab workout where all I do is lay on my back with my arms spread out, airplane style. I raise my legs up to the ceiling and slowly (very slowly) bring them down to the floor. When my legs are an inch or two from the ground, I hold them out in position for a few minutes. Since doing this exercise this summer, I have went down about four pant sizes.<br><b>References : </b><br> In my opinion, gym equipment does work but it is just as good as my stay-at-home-on-the-floor method.
