Step by Step

If you need to improve the strength, stability and endurance around your abdominals, shoulders and lower back then this is an excellent exercise
Remember this exercise should be pain free during after and the next day
Loop an exercise band around your wrists
Kneel down onto your knees and rest both hands onto the floor, your hands should be under your shoulders and shoulder width apart.
Next lift your knees of the ground so that you are on your toes and lift your pelvis until your body is perfectly straight and hold this position throughout.
Common mistakes are having your bottom up in the air or letting your hips drop causing your back to sag.
Next step one hand sideways out to the side as to apply tension to the band
Once this hand comes back down then move the opposite hand to join it.
Then repeat in the opposite direction.
Adjust the tension of the band to make the exercise as hard as you need and add tension over time to progress.
For strengthening you should perform 6-10 reps to fatigue
You should perform 3-5 sets with 3 minutes rests
This session can be done 2-3 times per week
For endurance you should perform 15-25 reps to fatigue
You should perform 3-5 sets with no more than 30 second rests
This session can be done 2-3 times per week
