• Focus: Abs/Core
• Think “Ribs to Hips” & “Scoop your belly In & Up”
• Keep a neutral spine (don’t jam your lower back to the ground) unless you have a tender back then you can gentle allow your back to touch the floor.

Modifications:

• If you’re neck is straining – Keep your head lowered & just move your legs
• If you feel more in your back then your abs – shorten the range of motion your legs are moving.

Sets: 1-4

Reps: 10-30

Great to do along with Single Leg Abs & Single/Double Leg Abs w/ball
