Tightening and toning your abs isn't as daunting as you might think. All you need is a few minutes every day for one month, to start seeing a sculpted midsection.

Setting goals are easy; so is getting sidetracked. The 30-day challenge offers support to help you stay accountable for your goals.

The 30-day crunch challenge includes five moves to target the three primary muscle groups in your midsection: the rectus abdominis, transverse abdominis and the internal and external abdominal obliques.

The five moves can be done daily and the reps increase throughout the challenge as you get stronger. Don't worry if you can't do them all in one set. Start with 5 or 10 reps at a time. Increase your reps as you gain strength. As the weeks progress, you'll get stronger and the exercises will get easier; that's when you should push yourself harder. Don't forget to use your tracker to monitor your growth.

Print this workout and use your tracker to help stay you focused, motivated, and on track.
