    Exercise of the Week Jan. 22

    by fitgurl (01/22/2007 - 17:19)

     Hola! I hope your weekend was relaxing and enjoyable. Place our bets now... the Bears or the Colts?!

    Anyway, onto Fitness.

    Below is the is the exercise of the week. If you have any questions, just post them and I will answer in tomorrow's blog.

     

    Starting Position
    Lie on your back with your legs extended and your arms to the sides of your body. Pull your ABs tightly inward and keeping your legs fully extended raise them a few inches off the floor. Keep the knees slightly bent and the lower back pressed against the floor.

    [I don't really like the  picture here but it was the best I could find to illustrate this exercise. ]Use your lower abs by pulling them in toward the floor which will cause your legs to raise. DO NOT use momentum at all. If you barely move your legs, that is totally fine, just as long as your abs are doing all of the work.

    Challange** place your hands behind your head and raise your upper body toward your legs.  Call it a double crunch.
