Check out this weeks Fit Tip of the week - the BOSU Ab/Arm Circles.
(http://www.bosufitness.com/BOSU-Ab-Arm-Circles)
I love this exercise and used it to stay in shape during my pregnancy (with modifications) and get back into shape after. (We actually filmed this Fit Tip when I was 5 months pregnant!) What I love most is the power generated in the core by finding and holding the Supine Plank position. All of the abdominal muscles are working to keep the torso stabilized during that powerful contraction. Opening up into the Arm Circles elongates the abdominal cavity and enhances the range of motion in the trunk. It is also a wonderful way to learn how to keep the breath flowing evenly while maintaining the contraction, or brace, in the abs.
Lots of variations to follow from this Supine Plank position... stay tuned!
