In this next series I'm going to do a... push...I'm going to do sit-ups which are important to work your core because if your core is strong, then you'll have a stronger lower back, and with all the lifting of the baby, all day long, twenty-four hours of the day, it helps you stay strong. Important, the important thing with sit-ups is to not overextend your neck, because if that gets injured then it tweaks the rest of your body. In this first position I'm going to lay down on my back with my hands underneath my neck but keeping my head on the blanket, and I'm going to rock my hips, so that I'm warming up. You want to keep your head down because if it's up like this you could get injured. You want to count to ten, or if you're more experienced and you have a strong core, then you can count to fifteen. I'm going to lay down on my back again with my hands underneath my lower back, and with my legs straight I'm going to lift my feet off of the ground. This works your care and again you want to count to ten or fifteen lifts. To make this easier, you could go lower, or you could bend your knees a little bit. And to make it more difficult you could go fast, instead of counting to fifteen, count to thirty.
