EXERCISES
If you are not used to regular exercise, stay at beginner level for the first 3 to 4 weeks.
Breath out during effort and breath in when returning to the start position. You should therefore be breathing out when contracting your
abdominals and out when releasing them. Fit your breathing rate to the speed of your exercise so you do not get out of breath.
Vary the order of your exercises so your muscles do not become accustomed to a given rhythm and sequence.

TION)
Isolates the lower part of the abdominal muscles.
