Hi welcome to Six Pack Abs. My name is Joseph. In this segment we are going to do some twists with the reach variations. So lying on to your back and placing your knee flat on the floor, take both arms out to the side keeping the shoulders back, then place the right hand behind the head and take a full breath in. As you exhale curl it up, one, two, exhale as you twist, three, four, stabilize the arms on the floor, six, seven, eight, nine, and now let's reach, do small pulses, one, two, three, four, five, six, keep breathing, seven, eight, nine, and ten. Hold and release it back. Let's do the other side, just ten easy, take a full breath in and twist. One, two, three, four, right palm is facing the sky, six, seven, breath out through the waist, eight, nine and it up ten. Hold out that arm, stretch out that left arm just off side the knee, take a full breath in and exhale pulse. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, and ten, release it down. Let's go back to the first side again take a full breath in and exhale and twist, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, and ten. Hold it stretch. One, two, three, four, breath out, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, relax. Other side hand behind the head and twist to the right, breath it out, and one, and two, exhale three, four, again keeping the abdominals in as strong as possible let that move the twist, eight, two more, nine, and ten.
