So in Yahoo!’s infinite wisdom they are appealing to the ‘resolutioner’s out there. They’ve decided to give you some great, easy-to-do, ‘guaranteed’, and ‘simple’ exercises that are SURE to ‘flatten’ your tummy:

2 Killer Moves for a Flat Tummy – Healthy Living on Shine

And it will only take 2 exercises!

YES! Just 2!

I’ll only ‘comment’ on one of their suggested ‘go-to’ exercises. The Plank. If you do this simple exercise you’ll be on your way to that flat tummy:

Get into a push-up position with your forearms on the floor.
- Lift your legs and torso up off the ground so that only your toes and the flats of your forearms remain on the floor.
- Keeping your back neutral and your belly button pulled in, hold this position for 20-60 seconds.

So here is the provided picture to help visualize what you should be doing:

Did anyone notice? So much for that ‘keeping your back neutral’ thing ehh?

Taking into account the room for error and the tricks a 2-D picture can make when it’s a 3-D character – there is still something off here.

I’m no expert, but it seems like a lil’ incorrect form? Or am I just nitpicking? Now, don’t get me wrong, I will be the first one to support this exercise. This basic ‘core’ exercise is the building block for a stronger, solid and tighter mid-section – but c’mon guys..

I guess I’m of the opinion if you’re going to provide sound advice, be sure it’s ‘sound’ before you go splashing it on the front page.

Things that make you go hmm..
