It's already March which means that Summer is just around the corner. If you're anything like me, all Winter you've been vegging out, binge watching Netflix and stuffing Oreos in your face like they're going out of style. But now, it's time to get back into the swing of things and work on your Summer bod.

Here are five exercises to help you get the flat stomach you want for Summer!

1. Diagonal Plank

This exercise is done exactly how the picture looks. You hold out one of your arms and your opposite leg at the same time. I'd recommend holding this pose for 30 seconds each side.

2. V-Crunch

This one is bit tough. Again, just like in the picture, you hover your upper and lower body up only balancing on your booty, and then, using your abs, you pull yourself up into a seated position with your legs coming to a table-top position. Remember to keep your abs engaged throughout the entire workout (including between reps). I would recommend 3 sets of 10 reps.

3. Crunch-chop

More crunches! For this one, you lay on your back with your legs together, straight up in the air, and have your hands clasps above your head. When you do the crunch, your legs open up to a V shape and your arms slice between your legs. If you want to you can had weight, just hold a dumbbell in your hands. For this exercise I would recommend 4 sets of 12 reps.

4. Flutter Kicks

In this exercise you lay on your back with your legs hovering slightly above the ground. After that, cross your legs right over left and then switch (repeat this movement for the whole time)! I would recommend doing this for 45 seconds!

5. Reverse Crunch

For this last exercise lay on your back and hold your legs up in there air, they can be a little bent. After that, lift your hips up off the ground using only your abs (not your arms/hands). I recommend to repeat this action for 4 sets of 12 reps.

Get ready to achieve your summer body goals!

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit. Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:

If you are like me, you have an interesting personality. Basically, you love to be sassy and snarky, gossip, and act like a total bitch (not really), but deep down, you are actually a very genuinely nice person. The idea of actually hurting someone truly makes you feel bad, and you probably have never actually hurt someone’s feelings because your kindness always shines through, even if you do not want it to. Not sure exactly what I would call this type of personality, but if you identify with it, here are some feelings you can undoubtedly relate to.
