Day 36: Ab, chair knee tucks

Posted by AccountingWEB on Feb 28 2011 625 printer friendly

Here's a new exercise from fitness guru Cindy Whitmarsh. In this exercise, you not only can work on sculpting your abs, but you can wake up your body!

Step 1: Sit at your desk and push your chair away from the desk so you have some room.

Step 2: Sit at the edge of your chair with your back super-straight.

Step 3: Bend your knees at 90 degree angles, with your toes pointed on the floor in front of you.

Step 4: Start the ab crunches by contracting your abs and leaning back slightly. This is your starting position.

Step 5: Alternate your knees, pulling into your chest and back down. Do one at a time. Squeeze your abs on each pull.

Do 20 crunches with each leg, take a quick break, and repeat for three sets of 20 crunches.
