Exercise Description

This is a straightforward and easy exercise that can be done in the comfort of your own home. It is intended to strengthen and tone the abdominal muscles. Don't rush through this workout, it is intended to be a slow, deliberate activity with a strict focus on each movement.

Muscle Groups: Abs

Step Number 1

Start out on a mat with your feet extended out in front of you hip width apart. You should be laying down in a supine position flat on your back. Make sure your heels are anchored to the floor (they shouldn’t move off the mat). Extend your arms all the way over (or behind) your head.

Step Number 2

Inhale through the nose and feel your belly rise. As you exhale that breath, peel your shoulders off the mat by raising your arms forward towards your feet. Your chin should be tucked to your neck and raise your upper body off the mat into a seated position.

Step Number 3

Inhale as you lengthen the spine and sit up nice and tall.

Step Number 4

Exhale as you bring the chin back to your chest and slowly lower your upper body back towards the mat. Feel your upper body retract towards the ground vertebrae by vertebrae nice and slowly. You want to be squeezing your butt and digging those heels into the ground as you lower your upper body.
