What's an abdominal press?
ReplyDeleteAnd a "quadruped"???
ReplyDeleteThe ab press is probably the most difficult to describe.
ReplyDelete1. Lay on your back with knees bent and feet flat on the floor
2. Place you hands on your knees
3. using your abs, attempt to press your knees to your chest while simultaneously using your arms to press them away.
This should feel like you are fighting against your own body for fifteen sec.
The quadruped is as follows:
1. start on all fours
2.Extend right arm and left leg as far from the center of your body as possible.
3. return to starting position, switch to opposite appendages, and repeat
