Abs! Abs! ABS!

Damn it is super hard to work your lower abs and your upper abs at the same time but I have just the exercise for you!! I love doing it and it is even nice to do after doing a set of chest lifts because then you really feel the burn in your upper abs.

Starting Position:

Start with your hands behind your head and your head, neck and shoulders in a chest lift keeping your shoulder blades off the ground and then your legs extended out to 45 degrees. If your back does arch in this position take your legs up higher and closer to 90 degrees instead of lower to the ground.


Movement:

Inhale: Prepare
Exhale: Increase your crunch and curl your legs in to table top or into your chest.
Inhale: Extend back to starting position by slowly curling your back down on the mat and legs to 45 degrees on the height you feel  comfortable with.

Repeat 15 to 20 times.

Important!!

If you have a very arched back concentrate really hard on not arching your back and keeping your legs closer to 90 degrees than lower to avoid a back injury!

Hint:

If you curl your tail bone up nice and high when you pull your legs to table top the more your lower abs will work.
