Here's a move we do at my twice a week exercise class that gets me every time. The idea is to raise and lower your straight legs without lowering them to the floor. I feel the muscles churning away. And I'm never quite sure if I can do the last few and survive.
There's the traditional version without a ball (I usually place my hands beneath my lower back for added support) and then there's the fancier version with the exercise ball. If you're using the ball, you can extend your arms as well and alternate between the ball in your hands and the ball in between your ankles. Two sets of twenty will bust your gut, I'm tellin' ya. What exercise move gets you every time?
I love this exercise but I usually have to put my hands behind my lower back for support! Good for you to mention that!
ReplyDeleteTwo exercises that are really hard for me.Doing sets of deep knee bends with a ball behind my back and then after each set staying in the bent knee position for 1 minute. Doing situps on a slant board, I'm really lousy at it. I like his exercise, hands behind back is a good thing.
ReplyDeleteI could definitely stand to do this one!
ReplyDeleteOh, I forgot - what exercise is hard for me, or gets me every time. Push ups - no question. I can hardly do them at all. Definitely time to do some weightlifting at the gym.
ReplyDeletepush ups get me every time as well and also downward dog!
