Tummy Tuesday!🙃
Doing this seated core work is a great way to work your abdominals in a neutral spine position. You can do all sorts of bonus arm work here too! 💪
.
🔹Set up: Start sitting with your legs comfortably bent in front of you. Option to use a small stability ball behind your pelvis for a bit of extra support. Loop a band around your feet if you are using it. From there hinge at the hips back until you feel your abs engage.
.
🔹Movement: Maintain your start position with your torso as you do any variation of arm work you choose. In the picture, I am showing a high row, but you can also do biceps curls, straight arm diagonals, etc.
.
🔹Tips: 🔹Doing alternating arm work will emphasize oblique work as your body has to also fight against rotational forces.
🔹Avoid slouching in either your upper or lower back but keep length throughout the spine and your eyes gazing slightly upward.
🔹Eliminating the small ball behind your back will increase the challenge level.
🔹You can swap the band for free weights or just move your arms by themselves as alternatives.
