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!

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
