I love this exercise!
It’s great for targeting those deep abs, good during 1st Trimester & After Baby 🙂
**Always check with your Doctor before beginning any exercise program**
Focus: Abs/Core- Legs laterally rotated
- Neutral spine
- Start with a small range of motion ~ once you master the smaller range of motion then you can lower your legs lower, but keep out of your back ~ this is an abdominal exercise!
- Think “Ribs to Hips” & “Scoop your belly In & Up”
- Lift your hips up towards the ceiling, not towards your head.
- Imprint your spine if you feel in your low back (meaning gently press your lower back towards your mat) ~ (I didn’t say jam, i said gently)
- If you feel more in your neck than abs, just do the leg movement. You can support more my placing your hands under your hips
- Take your shoes off to make it easier
- Smaller range of motion…
- Always be sure you have the smaller range of motion/basic movements down before you progress on….
- To make more challenging add pulses at the end of your 10-30 reps
