Hi everybody, I'm Grace Lazenby and welcome to Core Training. Today we're going to work the lower abs, okay. We're going to do what's called leg scissors. So, I'm going to use a pair of two or three pound weights, but I'm only going to use them for stability. So you're going to roll down onto your mat, make sure that your back is completely flat and neutral. You're going to bring the weights here for stability. Okay, relax your shoulders, you're going to take your feet straight over your hips, take a nice long inhale, lift your shoulders, hold. Beautiful. And make sure the lower ab is in and the shoulders are relaxed. Take all the tension out of the face, you're going to drop the left leg down and hold. Good. And then the right, excellent. Here we go. Temp up, and reach. Now I want you to focus on where your breath goes, I want you to exhale on the way down as you switch legs. Again you need to keep the tension now on the shoulders. It's really easy to shrug the shoulders and take the focus off of the lower abs. Let's do eight more. Six, four, two, let's hold it, excellent. Pull the knees to the chest, let's take a break, we're going to go to our next step. Now from here we're going to do a little bit different scissor. You're going to slowly roll up, you're going to take your legs about forty-five degrees, you're going to take your legs out and in. Beautiful. And in. Let's keep it really slow to begin with. Good. Two more. In. Here we go. Double time. And out. Good. Point your toes. Send all the energy out through the feet. Good. Back as usual, lower belly in, four, three, two and hold it, the four, three, how about lifting up a little bit further? There you go. And relax. Excellent work. You can go ahead and drop your weight, pull your knees to your chest to give yourself a nice hug. As you exhale you're going to roll up, stretch out the lower back, and release it, and that was your core exercise of the day. Those were leg scissors. I'm Grace Lazenby. Have a great day.
