⭐️ Flat tummy exercises ⭐️
Today’s short session works your abs and targets the area around your love handles.
JACKKNIFE CRUNCH
For this exercise:
- Lie on your back on the floor with your legs straight.
- Stretch your arms out behind your head.
- Breathe out and raise your arms and legs at the same time so that they meet at the top of the movement. This is called the jackknife position. At the top of this step, you should be balancing on your pelvis only. Your legs should be straight and your arms parallel to your legs.
- Breathe in and lower your arms and legs to return to the starting position.
- Do 3 sets of 15 reps.
LOVE HANDLES + ElastiBody
Equipment needed: 1 resistance band.
If you don’t have one yet, we recommend the Cellublue ElastiBody resistance band. It has 8 handles (from A to H), so you can make the exercise harder by using handles that are closer together. This means bringing your feet closer together.
For this exercise:
- Step your right foot into handle H. Pass the band under your left foot and stretch it to grab handle A with your left hand. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and parallel.
- Lean your upper body to the right while stretching the band with your left hand. You should feel a stretch along your left side. Use your oblique muscles to straighten up and return to the starting position, then repeat. Once you’ve done all your reps, do the same on the other side. Make sure you always keep your back nice and straight.
- Do 3 sets of 15 reps on each side.

Frequently asked questions
How can you get a flat tummy in 3 days?
No programme can promise a flat tummy in such a short time. Day 3 of the Flat Tummy Challenge offers a simple routine. It includes an ab session (jackknife crunch and a love handles exercise with a resistance band), a balanced menu for the day and the coach’s tip. The idea is to keep up the pace over the 7 days of the challenge.
Can you lose belly fat in 3 days?
It’s best not to set yourself a goal over such a short period, because every body is different. The challenge focuses on consistency. It combines exercises that work your abs and obliques with meals that are easy to digest. If you have any questions about your health or your diet, ask a doctor or a healthcare professional for advice.
How many reps should you do for today’s ab exercises?
For the jackknife crunch, do 3 sets of 15 reps. For the love handles exercise with the resistance band, do 3 sets of 15 reps on each side, and always keep your back nice and straight. If any movement causes pain, stop and ask a healthcare professional for advice.
What should you eat during the Flat Tummy Challenge?
Today’s menu starts with a breakfast of natural yoghurt, honey, dried fruit, kiwi and freshly squeezed orange juice. Lunch is a grilled veal escalope with peas and cherry tomatoes. For a snack, have a cup of tea and a piece of fruit. Dinner is sole with carrot purée. You’ll find all the details in the Flat tummy menu section.
