STAYING FIT FOR LIFE

By: Mattie Schuler

Great Abdominal Exercises:

1. Split leg-arm raises:

20 reps on each side

Begin lying on your back with your arms and legs

straight in the air. Lower your left arm back by

your head and your right leg toward the floor

simultaneously, until they hover just three inches

from the ground. Return to the starting position.

Your neck, shoulders, and head should remain on

the ground throughout. This exercise protects and

strengthens the spine as it transmits direct forces

between the upper and lower body. "You’ll know

you’re doing these correctly when you feel your

abs contract around where your belt would be,"

says Neupert.
