Ab-ologies

I apologize for being so late today! I worked out till my brain shut off this morning apparently!

ABS:

Start with the 100: Lay on your back and bring your knees to your chest. Hug them tight, releasing any tension in your lower back. Take 10-20 seconds to really breathe deep breaths. Release your arms and legs so that your feet are on the ground, knees bent, arms flat on ground at either side of your body.

Now, lift your arms off the ground, fingertips together and straight out, letting the energy flow from them. Tightening your abs, bring your head and shoulders off the ground. Begin to pulse your hands up and down (as if you are saying Hi, about 2-3 inch movements) and count 100 pulses. (Keep abs tight the entire time.)

Next do tree pose abs: Stretch body out. Now, legs are straight, laying flat on the ground. Bring your left foot to the inside of your right thigh (like you are doing tree pose laying down for those of you yogis out there). Bring your head and shoulders off the ground, keeping abs tight, hands hovering above your legs. Pulse hands for a count of 50, switch legs around and pulse another 50.

Repeat 2-3 times.

Make it count!
