Natalie Jill lost her house, her retirement, her marriage and gained a lot of weight. Being a single mom, she was forced to work full time, and had gained fifty pounds while she was pregnant. She had hit rock bottom. But instead of moping around, and making things even worse than it already was, she got back up. She began specializing in healthy lifestyle, weight loss, functional body weight training and gluten free nutrition. Now, she even began coaching motivating and empowering others to turn their excuses into solution. With her help, many people have become the best they can and still strive to be better.
Natalie Jill has many different programs for exercises, but my personal favorite has to be her five Ab exercises that you can do anywhere using your own body weight.

Exercise #1 - Plank Variations
Plank position on forearms and toes
If this is too hard, bring one knee down
If this is too easy, bring one leg up (alternating legs)
*Note: You will do each side for 30 seconds
Exercise #2 - Side Plank Variation
Plank position on your forearms and feet stacked
If this is too hard, bring a knee down
If this is too easy, lift out leg AND arm up
Exercise #3 – Low V Hold
Lie with your back on the floor and lift your legs (low above the ground) and shoulders off the ground. Keep your arms up and your lower back pressed into the ground. You should really feel this in your abs.
Exercise #4 – Flutter Kick
Lie on your back resting on your forearms and flutter kick your legs.
If this too easy, lie down flat, with your lower back pressed into the ground.
Exercise # 5 – Shimmie
Lie on back with your feet flat on the floor and shimmie side to side. Really engage your core, focus on your oblique’s and reach your fingers toward your heels.
