Hi my name Ricki Butler and I’m a group fitness professional. I have been in the fitness industry for the past 10 years. I am a personal trainer, a group exercise instructor and a group exercise program director. I am certified through AFA and AAAI, today I will be demonstrating a series of core exercises. Before we start I want to let you know what your core consists of. Your core consists of your abdominals, your lower back, your gluts and your hips. Throughout the series I will be asking you to keep your navel pulled into your spine or scoop your belly button in towards your spine, when I ask you to do those two things I don’t mean holding your breath. So you don’t want to inhale and lift your shoulders to your ears, this is incorrect. So you want to relax – your shoulders are going to come down, when I ask you to pull your navel into your spine, you should be able to talk and breathe at the same time. So your navel is going to go right in towards your spine and you’re going to keep your abdominals engaged throughout every exercise. We’re going to go ahead and get started.
