The Joy of Exercise

LET DOWN CRUNCH

Sit on the floor and bend your knees up to a 45 degree angle and your hands behind your head.

Lower slowly your torso backwards to a 45 degree angle. You’ll feel your muscles begin to pull.

Hold for four seconds, then slowly return to start position.

Repeat the exercise for the required reps.

BENT LEG SIT UPS

Lie on your back, legs bent at 45 degree angle, arms lax at your sides.

Pull down chin toward your chest then lift your torso up in classic sit-up. Back should be slightly rounded.

Return to start position.

Repeat exercise the required number of reps.

(NOTICE: IF THIS EXERCISE HURTS YOUR BACK, DON’T USE IT.)

BENT KNEE SINGLE LEG LIFT

Lie on your back, left leg bent upward at 45 degrees. Right leg flat on floor. Hands on your hips.

Lift your right leg straight up to vertical. Keep the small of your back firmly against the floor.

Bring down your right leg to the floor.

Repeat required number of reps.

Now reverse legs and do the exercise the required number of reps lifting your left leg.

FLOOR BICYCLING

Sit on the pad with your hands by your hips and your legs extended.

Lift one leg up and pull toward your chest. Lean back a little and keep your back slightly rounded.

Lift your other leg off the floor and simulate a bicycle motion with both legs but don’t touch the floor.

Each stroke with your left leg is one rep. Do three times the required reps.

SEAT WALKING

Sit on floor with legs extended and your hands on the floor near your hips.

Lift your legs off the floor to a 45 degree angle and lean torso slightly to the rear for balance. Back is slightly rounded.

Move your legs up and down in opposite directions as if walking without touching the floor.

Each right leg up is one rep. Do three times required reps for this exercise.

VARIETY OR EXTRA WORK EXERCISES

These are the other exercises you can work into your program. Some you may like, some not. Some will be harder than others. Be sure you have two or three extremely hard ones in your eight part program. The hard ones mean you need more work on those muscles.

Substitute exercises in your workout chart whenever you wish, but give at least a three week try on one exercise before you move to another one. Enjoy.
