EXERCISES: Sit ups, flutter kicks, planks

Dare Bee offers a really simple and totally workable calendar to help you stay on the right track all month long. You will only be doing three exercises here.
- Sit-ups (see video below)
- Flutter kicks (see video below)
- Elbow planks (see video below)
Don’t be fooled; though. These get really tough towards the end. You will be doing 4-minute long elbow planks by day 30 and there are no rest periods either!
Underneath the calendar is a nifty timer, so you can time your planks perfectly. A printable, high-resolution version of the calendar can also be downloaded from the site.

THE BEST DIET FOR YOUR CHALLENGE
Ever heard the saying “abs are made in the kitchen?” You can do crunches until you’re blue in the face, but if you don’t eat healthy, you’ll never see results. The good news is that you can still eat delicious meals without depriving yourself.
Men’s Health UK’s diet plan recommends to eat six times a day (about every two to three hours) and avoid any processed or refined foods. Use protein sources such as chicken, eggs, fish, and other lean meats as the basis for your meals.
