SQUEEZE THE KNEE PADS TOGETHER AND HOLD FOR 2 SECONDS BEFORE SLOWLY LETTING YOUR KNEES COME APART. THIS SHOULD TAKE 4 SECONDS. WE CAN WORK YOUR MUSCLES EVEN MORE BY MAKING THE RETURNING MOVEMENT SLOWER!

FUN FACT 3-DIMENSIONAL AB TRAINING ONE OF THE REASONS A LOT OF PEOPLE DON’T GET GREAT ABS IS THAT THEY FORGET IT IS 3-DIMENSIONAL! THIS IS WHY WE ARE DOING CRUNCHES, PLANK AND SIDE BENDS - THEY EACH WORK A DIFFERENT PART OF YOUR ABS TO ACHIEVE THAT TONED MIDSECTION LOOK. BY CREATING A BALANCE BETWEEN A HOLD (PLANK), A BEND (CRUNCHES) AND A SIDE BEND, WE TICK ALL THE BOXES WITHOUT DOING MORE THAN WE NEED!
