I'm going to go ahead bring your attention to the oblique section which is my favorite place to work on the abs. We're going to do some cross ab lifts crunching turning to the side with the leg in up position. Go ahead and just lay down on your mat or on your towel, whatever you have. I'm bringing my hands starting bending my head. Remember not to lace the fingers, you really don't need to be doing that because what happens is we lace them, we get really comfortable and we start pulling that neck forward. So what I encourage you to do is just to keep your hands unlaced, keep fingertips unlaced just resting in your head. Okay, so starting with one leg, extend that leg out in front of you, reach as far as you can with the toe to the other side of the room and just bring it up in a crunch to the side and hold that for a second. Do that fifteen to twenty on each side. Each time I crunch that is where you want to exhale out. Each time you exhale out when you crunch and bring that knee in, that muscle is tightening. Do the same thing on the other side. Lift up and...these are really good. Okay so when you crunch and maybe after you're on the fourteenth or fifteenth one, hold it here, reach at the opposite arm and pulse for eight seconds. Eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two and one. That was good!
