Need to Get Back Into Shape After Thanksgiving? Try Nicole Sherzinger's Abs-Firming Workout.

Overindulged at thanksgiving dinner? Now that the turkey, stuffing and ham are all done, the realization of the amount of calories consumed sets in and all the hard work to keep fit has been tossed out, but it's not too late to get back on track and get your abs in great shape in time for the NYE parties.  

Former 'Pussy Cat Dolls' singer and 'X Factor' Judge Nicole Scherzinger recently shared her fitness regime with Shape magazine. The workout designed by her trainer Adam Ernster promises to get your abs sculpted  within a month. Read on to see more of Nicole's workout routine...

How it works:

Three times a week, do 2 or 3 sets of each move in order without resting in between. 

1. Reverse Chop (Works Core): Hold a weighted ball with both hands in front of hips, and stand with feet wider than shoulders, knees slightly bent. Rotate shoulders to the left, bringing ball outside left hip [A].

Twist torso to the right as you raise ball up at a diagonal to the right [B]. Return to starting position. Do 12 to 15 reps, then switch sides to complete set.

2. Slide Out (Works Core and Shoulders): Get in plank position with hands on Valslides or towels. Press left hand down as you slowly slide it forward [shown]. Return to starting position and repeat on right side to complete 1 rep. Do 10 reps. (If this move is too challenging, try it with your knees on the ground.)

3. Triple Threat (Works Abs): Lie faceup with legs extended toward ceiling, feet flexed and arms at sides. Raise hips [A]; lower to starting position. Do 10 reps.

Next, place hands behind head and bend knees 90 degrees. Curl knees toward chest [B]; lower to starting position. Do 10 reps. Last, place feet on floor and extend arms straight up from chest.

Raise head and shoulders [c]; lower. Do 10 reps.
