Description: W1/D2 Abs & Inner Core

Welcome to day 2! This workout focuses on your abs and inner core. 

Form Tips/Science: 
Your rectus abdominus (six-pack muscles) runs from your ribs to hips. So, you want to think about bringing your ribs closer to your hips when training abs.

Your deeper “core” muscles are engaged while stabilizing yourself. So think of pulling your belly button towards your spine and engaging your entire stomach!

- Lean back to about 45 degrees and raise your legs off the floor
- Rotate dumbbell from side to side
-Think of twisting your shoulders rather than just moving your arms.

Dumbbell Russian Twist

-Lay on your back, holding a medicine ball between your knee and opposite arm
-Extend the other arm and leg
-Alternate arm

(If you don’t have a medicine ball, you can do it without any weight or with a pillow!)

Weighted Ball Dead Bugs

- Stand in a stable position
- With a kettlebell swing it around your body in a circular motion passing it from hand to hand and front to back

Dumbbell Around the World

- Lying face up with knees bent and feet flat on floor
- Hold med ball with your arms extended overhead
- Curl head and shoulders off the floor engaging core
- Bring the ball in front of body as you sit up
