You Should Feel This: Abs

Equipment: Yoga Mat

Steps:

1. Lie on the floor with your knees bent, your feet flat on the floor, and your arms by your sides. Keep your neck and trunk aligned as you lift your head and shoulders slightly off the ground.

2. Tighten your abs and side-bend to the right. Slide your right hand toward the heel of your right foot as you crunch your rib cage toward the side of your right hip. Pause briefly, reverse the movement and return to the starting position.

3. Hold the starting position for 1 - 2 seconds, tighten your stomach, and side-bend to the opposite side. Slide your left hand toward your left foot as you crunch your rib cage toward the side of your left hip.
