THURSDAY TUMS

Leg Lifts

Lie on your back with legs flat against the ground and feet relaxed.

Contract your abdominal muscles while raising one leg 5 inches off the floor and hold for 3 seconds.

Lower and repeat on your other leg. Repeat 5 times each side.

Bicycle

Lie on your back with your hands behind your head.

Bend your knees and lift your feet so your calves are parallel to the floor.

While drawing in your belly button and exhaling, bring one knee to your chest while reaching for it with your elbow on the opposite side. It should look almost as if you were pedaling a bicycle.

Repeat on the side, and continue with repetitions for 30 seconds.

Rest for one minute, and repeat with another 30-second set.

Sit ups x 20

Lie on your back with knees bent and feet flat on the floor.

With head relaxed in hands behind head, pull your tummy button in towards the floor and gently raise.  

Hold for a few seconds and lower back down.

Easier Version: pull in your tummy button (pelvic tilt) and hold for 10 seconds and release.
