A great workout to focus on building a strong base through your abdominals. Use your abdominals like a corset to help you control your movements and help you get that feeling of being strong and stable. We practise keeping the pelvis and lower back still while you move your legs. We work through curl ups, strengthening not only your abdominals, but also your neck and shoulders that need to support your head.
We also work on our spinal mobility with pelvic curls.
If you are struggling with head and shoulder tension during your ab workouts, you need to build your strength in this area - so keep practising!
You can also watch our tutorial video for options on how to support your movement while you are building strength.
