Tuesday's Trunk and Core -- ABC Abs

Today's workout comes from blogilates.  It is basically a set of two challenges.  First, you will be in a sit back position with 1 leg extended and will draw the letters of the alphabet in the air in front of you, switching legs half way through.  Great for core stability and strength.  The more you lean back, the more challenging it is.

In the second challenge you are on your back and the letters are made with your legs.

Please warm up first.

Give your lower back and abs a good stretch at the end--for lower back, hug your knees (grab behind the thighs) to your chest--hold for 30 secs to 1 minute.  To stretch you abs, take your hands overhead and legs straight out (like a pencil) --breath in and stretch from fingertips to toes, hold for a second and breath out.  Do this several times.
