The Crab Ab Exercise

Video Transcript

"So, now we're going to do the abilicious crab abdominal workout. O.k., so you want to again, start, go slowly back, make sure you're safely on the ground. Your legs are going to come up in the air. Bring those elbows behind your head. Remember, you should not be able to see your elbows in your peripheral visors, so you want to make sure those elbows are pointed east and west. And what you're going to do, you're going to switch and swivel your legs, so that your legs are coming to the opposite side and you're going to keep your elbows in, keep them back. And you want to bring your elbow as if it's trying to reach your toe and that's movement number one and then you're going to come back to your starting position and then you're going to switch to the other side. So, you want to pretend that you're reaching your elbow while keeping those elbows back at all times reaching for that opposite toe. Actually, it's the same toe, not the opposite toe. So, we're going to reach back and then come back to your starting position. Swivel to the other side. Again on the movement, you're going to exhale. Exhale here and when you're back to your starting position you want to inhale. So, we're going to swivel, just like that. So, that is the crab workout and you want to make sure that you're breathing at all times and trying to suck that tummy in. And for beginners, try to give me twenty to thirty, for intermediate you want to do forty to sixty, and for advanced do eighty to one hundred. And remember to keep those elbows back, you don't want to cheat."
