Session I: Fasted Cardio

Do your best to completely engage your core on the hanging knee raise and crunch. 

To develop a better mind-muscle connection, imagine rotating your pelvis up towards your chest while breathing out when doing the hanging knee raise.

*similar form to regular crunch 
- keep weight directly above head 
- as you crunch, plate lifts towards ceiling 
- actively pull navel to spine 
- exhale on each rep

Plate Crunch

- Step up on a platform and grab the parallel bars while keeping your arms to your sides and elbows extended
- Bring your shoulders back, engage your abs, and squeeze your glutes
- Step off the platform to suspend yourself in the air and lean forward slightly
- Tuck your body upward 
- Release
