The Boat Pose
You can use the boat pose to tone and strengthen the muscles of your abdomen. Start by sitting on your bottom with your knees bent and your feet planted flat on the floor. Put your arms straight out in front of you with your palms facing each other. Make sure to tighten our abs throughout the exercise. Recline as you slowly lift your legs, but keep them bent at first. When your torso reaches a 45 degree angle with the floor, slowly straighten your legs and point your toes. Hold this pose for 20 seconds. Now bend your knees and come to your original position.

The Modified Boat Pose
The modified boat pose can help to build and strengthen your abs. Start by sitting on your bottom with your knees bent and your feet flat on the floor. Make sure that your abs are tight as you recline. Keep arms straight in front of you and parallel to the ground. Recline until your torso is at a 45 degree angle to the floor. Hold this pose for 20 seconds. Now come back to the original position and repeat for 2 more sets.

Advanced Chair Pose
Try this variation of the chair pose. Begin by standing straight with your abs tight. Put your hands together at your chest as if you were praying. Bend your knees until your thighs are almost parallel to the floor. Keep your elbows out as you twist to the left. Hold this pose for 15 seconds. Come back to the middle and then twist to the right and hold for 15 seconds. Use your abs and legs to come back to a standing position.
