Exercise Directory: Corkscrew [Alternating]

This exercise will focus on working your abdominal muscle.

STEP #1: Lie down on your back on the floor [facing the ceiling].

STEP #2: Lift your legs up in the air so they are at about a 90 degree angle with your body.

STEP #3: Draw your belly button in toward your spine.

​STEP #4: Press your lower back against the floor. This is to help eliminate your back from arching.

STEP #5: Extend your arms out to your sides ... touching the floor beside you.

STEP #6: Pop your bottom off the floor by lifting your legs toward the ceiling. As you do this, twist your hips to the left.

STEP #7: Return your bottom to starting position.

STEP #8: Pop your bottom off the floor by lifting your legs toward the ceiling ... but this time, twist your hips to the right.

​STEP #9: Continue to repeat this movement until you feel your abdominals start to fatigue.

STEP #10: REST.

STEP 11: REPEAT.
