Abs & Core

Get those abs in shape by doing crunches....and for those of you familiar with my Bodilates Core Work do it!!!

When doing crunches, watch your form.  Remember to support your head with your hands, do not pull on your neck or head.   Just allow the head to rest in your hands as you crunch up.  Eyes on the ceiling. 

For the Bodilates Core, rolls ups are crucial.  Shoulders down away from your ears, knees can be bent or straight.  Just slowly roll up from the shoulders allowing each vertebra to lift off the mat one at a time.  Come up so your shoulders line up with your hips and then slowly lower, again one vertebra at a time.  Once you master this, I will provide additional exercises adding difficulty to the routine. 

Tip:  If you cannot roll up at first, try putting your feet underneath a sofa or chair to maintain position.  Once you master this, then take your feet out and try it.  It may take a while, but it will be worth it in the end.
