ABS Day 3

Hello all! I hope that your weekend is treating you well, and that you are enjoying the amazing weather. Today is the perfect workout for you to go out and lay in the sunshine and do this workout in the grass, if you have a place where that is an option, otherwise the fine comfort of your own home with a television screen, or at a gymnasium! Also I would like to state that these workouts are in no way supposed to be done if they are causing anyone stress, pain, or discomfort. If you experience any of these please stop what you are doing immediately and contact me for a substitute exercise, if you are experiencing pain you might want to seek medical attention. Anyways. here is your workout for this lovely Sunday!

WARM-UP:
1) 5 Minute jog, or 5 minute brisk walk.

2) Trunk stretch X 20 sec. 

I realize that today's warm-up is different than the past 2 days, this is because this workout is much different than those as well. Make sue that your body is completely warmed up because today is going to involve holding of positions for extended periods of times.  :)

WORKOUT: (you will need some sort of timing device for this workout, watch with seconds hand, stop watch, egg timer, any of these will work)

1) Planks (30 seconds)

2)  Oblique planks/ side planks (30 seconds) 1 each side.

3) Seal stretch with raised legs (30 seconds)

Do all of this 2 times through this is just 4 minutes of intense working out and then you are done with your abs for the day. If you are in better abs shape try holding the positions for 45 seconds of even a minute at a time!  

Remember to breathe!! 

here is a description of the position that you should hold for each plank

Seal stretch with raised legs:

Lay flat on the ground on your stomach with your arms at your side. slowly raise your shoulders and legs off the ground until you cannot go any further hold that position. Then slowly lower back to the ground
