Hi. I'm Keith Irace, and welcome to Six Pack Abs. Today's move is weighted obliques. So we're going to get started by just taking it down on the back. You're going to need one set of light weights. Go ahead and roll back down unto your back. Your feet are going to be on the floor, just about hip distance apart. We're going to pick up our weights and put along side, and you're just going to start to lift, twist, twist, twist, and twist. You're reaching across the body, pushing with the arm muscles and the chest muscles, but twisting and really trying to control that move with your obliques. We go twist, and down, good. Twist, and cross. That's it. Twist, and cross. So you keep the line of fire just a little bit lower than your chest. Up, yes, cross, cross, about 10 more, and nine, and eight, seven, come lift it, six, five, four, three, two, and one, beautiful. We're going to rest those weights unto the floor. Take your legs straight up. Let your head rest on the floor for a moment. You're going to take your arms straight up from the shoulder joint and you're just going to start to climb that rope. Reach, and reach, and reach. Now I want you to try to get the outside of your ankle or your heel. Reach, and reach. If you're out there around the knees, that will work, you want to go for the shins. If you got the shins, go for your ankles. If you got the ankles, go for your heels. Up, and up, good. Relax your head and neck. Let it go along for the ride. Squeeze, squeeze and reach, squeeze and reach, last 10, and nine, and eight, seven, six, five, four, last three, two, and one. Take it down. Extend it way out. Restore the curve to your low spine, hug your knees in for a little bit. That was our weighted obliques for today. Thank you for joining me for Six Pack Abs. I'm Keith Irace. I'll see you next time. Okay.
