Moving on to our CORE!

Moving on from the position of neutural spine alignment described in yesterday's post, I am offering a simple and effective deep core exercise.

Begin laying on your back with your feet flat on the floor, hip distance apart. Gently place your hands across your lower abdomen/pelvis and cough a few times. You should feel your deepest abdominal muscles contract. Now place your hands by your sides, palms down. Take a deep breath in and slowly lift your toes 3-6 inches off the floor, mainting your neutural spine. Repeat this exercise for 3 sets of 12-15 repititions.

Have a fantastic day! Grab an organic apple and a handful of nuts for the perfect snack.
