As we approach the weekend, and enter into our third week of Bootcamp, I want you to continue working on your core muscles. These muscles are our stabilizers - used in every thing we do. To have a weak core, can result in pore posture, causing pain in our lower back and shoulders.
Here is a move you can do on your own at home with your stability ball:
Place your hands shoulder-width apart on top of a stability ball that's resting against a wall or in a corner.
Extend your legs to balance on toes and hands, and tighten your abs so your body is aligned from head to heels
1. Lift left foot a few inches off floor. Hold for up to 5 counts, lower it, and lift right foot. Repeat, alternating feet, until you've done 5 lifts per side
2. Work up to 10, then try doing it with the ball moved away from the wall.
Challenge: Add a push up to the plank and leg raise
Modification: Omit leg raise, come on to knees. Make sure to keep chest up and away from the ball.
