A Kick-Butt Core Move

Sloughing off that bulgy belly fat is top priority, and I have just the move! It’s a core exercise called a Flat Lift, and it’ll tone and trim your abs as well as strengthen your back and pelvis. Core moves are an integral part of any fitness routine. Good core stability allows you to do most any physical activity – whether it’s tying your shoe or swinging a tennis racket. Let’s begin!

Step 1: Lie on your back, extend your legs and suspend your feet just above the floor. Rest your arms at your sides with palms against the floor.

Step 2: Exhale and tighten your abdomen as you lift both legs, creating a 45-degree angle between your legs and the floor. Note: Don’t allow your lower back to arch away from the floor.

Step 3: Continue to breathe normally as you hold the move for 5 seconds.

Step 4: Lower your legs to the floor.

Step 5: Rest for 20 seconds and repeat three times, for a total of 4 repetitions.

Your coach,
Jorge Cruise
