Focusing on your form and making minor refinements can completely change the quality of your workout. Try it on the Abs Series and see if you can feel the difference.
There are 5 exercises in the Abs Series:
 |
| Scissors |
- Single Leg Stretch
- Double Leg Stretch
- Scissors
- Lower Lift
- Criss Cross
 | |
| Lower Lift |
All 5 exercises require similar technique to maintain a strong and stable core. First, tips of the shoulders should be anchored to the mat, and second, the whole spine from shoulders to tailbone, should be pressed to the mat. To increase the overall benefits, reach the tailbone long in opposition to bending knees or lifting legs to the powerhouse. Single Leg Stretch and Double Leg Stretch: be sure to bend the knees in and stretch hamstrings. Scissors: engage your powerhouse to bring your legs to you. Lower Lift: it's not about how low you go, it's about how you bring the legs into the powerhouse. On Criss Cross: be sure to turn from the waist, like you're wringing out a towel, shoulders square. Don't mistake turning the head or shoulders for twisting at the waist. Make sure elbows remain wide throughout.
