Fiterati Exclusive: Aussi Abs World Debut!
Try: Aussi Abs
Get smart, sexy, slim and target all four sections of your abs: upper, middle, lower and sides from a seated position in a comfy chair with this multi-muscle ab exerciser. No more crunches on the floor! This new tummy toner can help strengthen muscles to finally flatten that pouch. Aussi Abs works both upper and lower abs at the same time because it allows the ribcage and pelvis to move toward each other and contract engaging abdominal muscles. Otherwise, the action is isometric and you won't get a full contraction of the entire tummy region which helps you get svelte around the belt. From a seated position, brace abs as you simultaneously plunge arms and lift both knees to your chest. That's a crunch. Do as many as you can. Next, place Aussi Abs to either side with one foot on the foot rest, then plunge and lift to work obliques deeply. Now you've got a total-tummy toning plan. To make any crunch more challenging, add more reps and sets or increase resistance by adding tension bands included with an easy to follow DVD lead by an appealing instructor.

Watch: Stuck
Sometimes fitness is a group effort and the ladies of Stuck are back for Season 2.

Fitness goals are the immediate symbol of their desire to reclaim their lives. All have tried to go it alone, but none have seen goals through. The barriers are as diverse as the women themselves. But here is help, hope and high-impact aerobics! The first episode premiers Wednesday, March 4 at 10 p.m. on W Network. Catch up on the girls from Season 1 >>
