We are not going to perform one of my absolute favorite abdominal exercises, it is called the abdominal double crunch. Cathy begins with her knees bent and her legs on a 45 degree angle. Her back is nice and flat on the floor, her hands are crossed over her chest. All she is going to do is raise her shoulders and feet off the floor until she feels a contraction in the abdominals.
She lowers, comes back up, lowers, comes back up. Notice her feet do not touch the floor. Notice her head does not touch the floor and her shoulders does not touch floor just short of hitting the floor. That is how you keep a constant contraction on the abdominals. You will be feeling it all through the abdominal region here, notice her neck is nice a straight, her breathing is natural, never hold your breath. Let us perform all the repetitions, we are gong to perform ten repetitions. We are going to start now, we are going to give you and extra run, ready one, two, I want you to follow along take you time. If you cannot get all ten do two or three, rest a few seconds start again. Once you really practice this exercise we need strong abdominals.
Good form, very good, excellent. As with all of the exercise we are doing today do not forget I want you to perform two sets of every exercise. So after you perform the ten repetitions wait about 30 seconds and then perform your second set.
