Incorporating a nighttime stretching routine into your regular schedule is a great way to reduce bloat and reveal more toned abs. Specifically, certain stretches can help improve circulation, revealing a more toned physique.
Keep reading for the one nighttime stretch you should be doing for more toned abs!
Reclined Spinal Twist
The reclined spinal twist is a great stretch for your entire body--specifically you abs, back, shoulders, and hips. Specifically, this move can help strengthen your ab muscles while also fighting against bloat.
According to Women's Health, "Twists are great for digestion because they increase blood flow and circulation."
How To Do It
Lie flat on your back with your knees bent and the soles of your feet flat against the floor. Lifting your feet off the floor, press your knees into your chest. Spread your arms wide on either side, and drop your knees to one side. Look over your opposite shoulder. Hold. Repeat on the other side.
With that in mind, incorporating this stretch into your nighttime routine is an excellent way to look and feel your best.
In addition, incorporating this stretch into a regular exercise regime could help yield visible results. With so many ab workouts aimed at toning your core--like planks, sit-ups, and V-ups--adding a stretch into the mix can help make your workouts more effective.
