exhale so inhale and then exhale come up think about that crunch leading up towards the ceiling not forward so inhale down and then exhale up when you breathe really engage your belly towards your spine and at any point that you feel like you need to take a break take that break but think about your belly is it your focus and summer is your round no matter where you eat so keep going big breath out pushing the spine down engaging the ABS inward let’s go for five more big exhale Joyce I don’t know if I hear you good right here giggling so that always helps the ABS three more two we’re gonna hold it up on one hold again you want space between your chin and your chest push that belly down hold it and we’re gonna send one leg straight out and do little crunches it doesn’t matter which let

up you either should lift your legs a little higher or Joyce for a modification you can take your legs all the way down to the floor and continue but Anna let’s give it a go so 10 here feel any pressure but you don’t want to put your legs down put a little bend in your knee 3 2 both legs comes down back to your crunch again so bend your knees how we doing Oh it’s burning well good that’s the point right here we go nice six more keeping constant tension on those ABS – and then hold it up remember what leg you extended and let’s go for the other leg extended out little crunches so if you
