Muscle Focus: Abdominals and back extensors.
Objective: Abdominal strength, trunk stabilization, and back extensor strength.
Start Position: Lie on your back, drawing the knees into the chest and curling your head and shoulders off the Mat. Reach your legs straight to a 45 degree angle, and inhale to reach both arms in the opposite direction.
Movement: Exhale roll up through your spine to bring your arms parallel to your legs. Inhale. Exhale roll away from your legs back down to the Mat until your shoulders touch the Mat and arms are by your ears. Legs stay at 45 degrees. Repeat three times. Bend the knees into the chest and head and shoulders rest on the Mat.
