GET CLOSER TO THAT SIX-PACK WITH THE HELP OF THESE LOCAL PROS.
PHOTOGRAPHED BY MICHAEL NEVEUX
FIT BODY
Start in box position, with hands, knees and toes on floor and your spine in neutral.
BOX WITH LEG EXTENSION
Start in box position, straighten legs and raise hips into a pike position.
BRIDGE WALKOUTS
Walk hands as far away from body as possible without losing neutral spine.
Lift knees slightly off floor. Allow weight shift to upper back and hands. Hold for 15-30 seconds. Practice breathing calmly and chest up.
Work to maintain calm breath and keep chest up. Hold for a beat; walk hands back to start.
Repeat for conditioning. You may also hold for time as a long lever plank or include push-ups between each rep.
Progress to leg extensions. Lift and push one leg back while maintaining neutral spine and breath. Alternate legs for reps.
