Best workouts for arms and tummy - on YouTube

[iwantavuvezela]

I am trying to get fit and healthy again, I have the cardio bit sorted with using a treadmill and swimming.
I want to add in some arm and tummy exercises (definite areas of mine that need focus) that I can at home, and have been googling workouts, there are loads.
Wondered if anyone had any favourites online that I can watch and then do at home.

The Fitness Blender YouTube channel has loads of routines of varying length/intensity, and I'd be surprised if you couldn't find something you liked on there.

Thank you auntiestella will have a look

Press ups will do both and plank great for core but you must do plank correctly ( squeeze your glutes/squeeze your abs)

A gentle start is yoga - I find just doing 20 mins of Yoga with Adrienne regularly (most days) and doing the sun salutations with the sort-of press up into plank really gets my arms & abs working.

A full arm plank does as well ie not on the elbows, but fully extended arms. But I find with plank that the real gains come from keeping it moving & active, not just locking into the position. So try getting into your plank positions, then stepping alternate foot out to the side, while keeping the shoulders flat and relaxed.

The other thing is Pilates - a good tough class, and then using that to keep your core engaged in most things you do - keep your core engaged & abs working while you run, on your everyday walking, and at your desk.

I have a lot of dance training & walk like a "ballerina" - not turned out duck feet, but straight tall back, stomach pulled in navel to backbone, pelvis neutral - if you just focus on engaging core & walking or going about your everyday activities trying to keep your alignment neutral, this will do wonders for posture and so on.
