Up back and around. 00:02:15.40\00:02:19.85 And I think what we'll do to start our workout 00:02:31.29\00:02:32.87 today is we're gonna right into abdominal training. 00:02:32.90\00:02:35.04 So let's go and get down to the backs. 00:02:35.07\00:02:36.60 The best way to do abdominal training 00:02:39.90\00:02:41.57 is just to put the hands behind the neck. 00:02:41.60\00:02:44.79 We want to do it that way because we pull on your head 00:02:44.82\00:02:47.46 you can hurt your vertebrates in the back of your neck, 00:02:47.49\00:02:49.59 or you can cause some other pain. 00:02:49.62\00:02:51.63 So if we put it behind the neck 00:02:51.66\00:02:53.59 then we're gonna be a lot safer. 00:02:53.62\00:02:54.99 Then when you do abdominal training, 00:02:55.02\00:02:56.43 it's good to exhale as you start 00:02:56.46\00:02:58.70 which encourages the abdominal wall to come in. 00:02:58.73\00:03:00.90 So exhale then you comes forward, 00:03:00.93\00:03:03.64 and then you inhale as you go back. 00:03:03.67\00:03:05.58 So let's do some of that now. 00:03:05.61\00:03:07.01 Let's exhale and come up and down, 00:03:07.04\00:03:10.39 and up and down, and up and down. 00:03:10.42\00:03:14.49 Keep going with that pace. 00:03:14.52\00:03:16.15 What we want to do is we want to try 00:03:16.18\00:03:17.55 and push the lower back into the floor 00:03:17.58\00:03:20.56 as much as we possibly can. 00:03:20.59\00:03:23.11 And that will help get it to maximize 00:03:23.14\00:03:24.53 the contraction of the abdominal wall. 00:03:24.56\00:03:28.36 Okay, let's go ten more.
