Plank jacks

For a move that will blow your mind and blast your abs, try the plank jack.
You'll feel these all over, but they are especially fantastic for that harder to reach section below the belly button, which I fondly refer to as the pooch.

-Start down in a plank position (like the top of a push up); hands are lined up under your shoulders and feet are close together. Keep your body in a straight line from head to heels, no butts in the air, remember, your body should look like a plank, not a mountain...
-Now for the fun; jump your legs out and in as if you were doing jumping jacks, keeping that nice straight body line to your plank.

Start with one set of 10-15, and build from there.
Enjoy!
