Torso rotations or leg lifts for a toned stomach


Torso Rotations: Torso rotations are great for working your whole abdominal area, including your lower back. These are done with your body alone or with a broomstick! Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, hands on your hips whilst keeping your lower body still, rotate your upper body as far to the left and right as possible. This should be done in steady movements for 15 to 20 repetitions at a time.
If using the broomstick, lay it across your shoulders and hold it with a wide grip.
Lying Twist: The lying twist also works the oblique muscles and improves flexibility. Lie on the floor with your legs straight out in front of you and your arms are out to the side, with your palms flat on the floor. Lift your legs so that they are at a 90 degree angle to the ceiling, then slowly lower them down to the right as far as possible and then slowly repeat on the left side. Continue to repeat this movement in a slow and controlled movement.
Leg Lifts: Leg lifts are achieved by lying on the floor with your legs straight. Raise them five inches from the floor either together or on their own depending on your ability and hold them for about 30 seconds. Your back should be close to the floor. Be careful if you have previous back problems when doing this move.
The Plank: This classic exercise is usually performed at the end of a workout. But it can also be done at any time and in front of the TV is ideal! You need to be in a similar position as a press up but rest on your forearms instead. Ensure you have a straight back and neck and hold this position for as long as you can, this is beneficial for your core muscles, especially your inner and outer abs.

Steps to prepare Strawberry coconut ice cream


Recipe Ingredients :
- Double cream 300ml 
- Golden caster sugar 4 tbsp 
- Coconut milk 300ml 
- Vanilla extracts ½ tsp 
- Sweetened dessicated coconut 150g, plus extra to serve
Recipe Method:
  • Beat the double cream with half of the sugar until soft peaks form, then stir in the coconuts milk, vanilla extract and desiccated coconut. Divide the mixture into two, and keep chilled.
  • Process the strawberries with the remaining sugar to make a smooth puree, and then stir this into one of the coconuts mixture. Line a deep square tin (approx 18 x 18cm) with greaseproof paper. Pour the white mixture into the tin and freeze. When almost frozen, pour the pink strawberry layer on top and freeze. Remove the ice cream from its container, sprinkle with dessicated coconuts, and serve in slices.
  • Tip to make the turning out process easy and to keep things neat and tidy, use two bands of greaseproof paper, each the width of the sides, arranged in a cross shape. If your container has a loose-fitted base, this makes things even easier.

Cooking time: 20 mins+ chilling and freezing
