TIP OF THE MONTH

This move can be performed on the floor.

This move concentrates on core strength.

START POSITION

Place your elbows on the floor, forearms also touching the ground. Start with your knees and feet on the ground too.

Bring your knees off the ground and hold a straight line. Your back will want to arch so it is important to brace your abdominals. By holding this straight line, both your lower back and you abdominals will have to be working. It is a great all over core workout. Hold this position for 30 secs to 1 min

 

If you find it hard to maintain the above position, start by doing the move on your knees and raise your feet off the ground. This is slightly easier. Still keep the straight line though

The key points to look out for are:-

  1. Avoid lower back arching by bracing the abdominals.
  2. Start with reps of 30 secs - 1 min.
