Day 4

january Week 4

No rush today, I am giving you 3 exercises with certain reps and you are just getting through them.

Straddle leg raises - 3 sets of 10 reps

Opposite toe reach - 3 sets of 20 reps (total not each side)

V-up into tuck up - 3 sets of 10 reps (v-up + tuck up = 1 rep)

We know by now that quality is stressed over quantity here so take your time on these and make them GREAT

These are all exercises we have seen before. Straddle leg raises it is ok to use some sort of aid, just like I demonstrated. If you can only get your heels up an inch or less, it’s OK! This exercise takes time to see progress.
