1) 30 crunches – Take a break every 10 crunches if you need to. Remember to support your neck with your hands.
Crunch – start position |
Support your neck as you raise your upper body |
2) 30 hip raises – These are strengthening and will also stretch out the muscles you worked when crunching.
Hip Raise – start position |
Lift and squeeze |
3) 30 lying leg raises (how to:http://www.muscleandfitness.com/workouts/abs-exercises/tone-your-abs-lying-leg-raise) – love them or hate them, they are effective!
Raise your legs and bottom, tuck hands below your hips for support |
Lower your legs slowly keeping ankles flexed |
Take a moment and repeat |
How did you do? Were you able to do 30 of each exercise? Check in with me. I love comments on the blog, Twitter (@playoutsidegal), and Facebook (www.facebook.com/PlayOutsideGuide).
