Grace: Hey everybody, it's Grace and I'm getting ready to do my ab workout. This thing that
-
I was demonstrating before is not going to be of any help to me, so I'm going to show
-
you what I'm going to do with my myosource bands. I'm going to buckle up first, of course,
-
click. Put them in place. I'm going to put my feet this far apart and put my head down,
-
brace my hands on the mat and just lift my hips. What this is doing is... the bands are
-
really engaging my core muscles. This movement even without the bands is a pretty good workout,
-
but with the bands tightens all these muscles all through here. It's a great, great workout
-
for your stomach, if you want that flat tummy. I'm going to do another similar workout with
-
my feet together this time, but my knees are going to be just placed a little bit apart.
-
This I feel more through my butt and my [laughter] legs, my back legs through here. I can also
-
feel it al through here, definitely in my lower abs, engaging the...
-
Before I found the myosource bands I was a crunchoholic. I did crunches everyday and
-
it was really starting to hurt my back, my backbone. Crunches were working against me,
-
not for me. I wasn't seeing any results and I was doing hundred and hundreds, and I guess,
-
I was just doing them wrong or they don't work. I'm going to do another workout with
-
the bands that really engages your core muscles. What I do is just cross this leg over here
-
and lift. Instead of fighting against your back, your back is actually supporting you.
-
It feels... you really do feel that it's working your core through your abs. We're going to
-
do a switch, make sure it's balanced, really engages your stomach muscles. That's a really
-
simple, easy way to target your core and not kill your back.
-
What I'm about to do is a variation of the butt lift. You just raise one of your legs
-
up like this and than do this, engages your stomach, your legs [laughter] it's hard. This
-
one, I like to call the screwdriver because it looks kind of like the... when you're in
-
this formation right here the screwdriver that you jump into the pool. This leg up here
-
makes it easier on your back. I sometimes have lower back pain and this is a way to
-
do it that makes it a little bit easier. It engages your core, you feel it through your
-
leg, it's a really good workout. This one is pretty easy, just cross your leg
-
over like this. Put your head up like this and just push your leg down. This engages
-
your abs, it's just a good way to target your lower and your outer abs.
