It’s All About Abs

Forget doing endless sets of sit-ups, Balancing Boat pose is where it’s at. Take 5 minutes out of your day (not even) for some Balancing Boat moves to blast your abs into shape!

Sit with your bum on the ground with both legs out in front you, lifted at about a 45 degree angle off the ground and your arms extended toward the sky. Take a few seconds or minutes, if you’re feeling ambitious, in the pose while keeping your core strong and back straight.

Now take it back! While keeping your legs and feet in the air, take your arms back and try to take your head back as far as you can, and touch the ground if it is available. Then bring your arms and head back up and we’re back in our original Balancing Boat pose.

Start with 5 reps then add-on as appropriate to build stronger abdominal muscles. 5 minutes later you’re on your way to stronger abs!

Now breathe and repeat!
