BICYCLE CRUNCHES<br />
Lie on your back on a mat<br />
with knees bent, feet on the<br />
floor and hands behind your<br />
head (don’t clasp your fingers).<br />
Press your lower back into<br />
the mat and tighten your ab<br />
muscles as you lift your head,<br />
shoulders, and upper back off<br />
the floor and simultaneously<br />
move your right elbow and<br />
left knee toward each other<br />
while straightening your<br />
right leg (don’t let it touch<br />
the ground). Draw your right<br />
knee back up and immediately<br />
move your left elbow and<br />
right knee toward each other<br />
while straightening your left<br />
leg; thats one rep. Continue<br />
to move continuously, as if<br />
pedalling a bicycle.<br />
PUSH-UPS<br />
Get on the floor and position your hands slightly wider than your<br />
shoulders. Raise up onto your toes so you are balanced on your<br />
hands and toes. Keep your body in a straight line from head to<br />
toe without sagging in the middle or arching your back. Your feet<br />
can be close together or a bit wider depending upon what is most<br />
comfortable for you. Before you begin any movement, contract<br />
your abs and tighten your core by pulling your belly button<br />
toward your spine.<br />
