pelvic thrusts, reverse crunches, weighted crunches, RIP (rest in plank), ANYTHING that tightens the muscle/core work. Yoga to a certain extent, although I have never tried it. I do 5-6 sets of 25 of each exercise, and do abs every other day.
Also, diet... abs are made in the kitchen. lean meat, veggie, 1-2 fruits a day, never go 3 hours between meals, LOTS of water.
For me, I probably will never have a 6 pack, but I am now at the 'comfortable in a 2 piece' stage of the game, and have a mid ab line (which I think it pretty awesome with 4 kids). It was a solid year, losing 40lbs and a complete diet/lifestyle change.
I have about 30 pounds to lose since starting my daycare. Food is available at all times and this job, as you all know, can be stressful at times and I am an emotional eater. My sister told me about the 17 day diet and I LOVE it! I have lost 9 lbs so far. The thing about it is it teaches you how to eat correctly and to make wiser choices with your foods and portions. I highly recommend it. I feel like I have more energy and I just feel better and healthier in general!
