search these:
static split squats
supine bridges
dumbbell rows
push ups
Prone Ab Brace
do this as a circuit as best as you can doing 3 x 10 or each exercise all in a row than rest 2mins and repeat..for brace just hold for as long as you can
do 3/week on non consecutive days (mon, wed, fri or tue, thu, sat etc) |

Well it is more often called Prone Ab Isolation or Abs Bridge.
Here is a photo for you:
1. Lie face-down on the floor with elbows directly beneath the shoulders and forearms flat and parallel.
2. Place feet hip-width apart, with toes touching the ground and legs straight.
3. Maintaining neutral position of the spine and head, draw in the abs and squeeze the glutes.
4. Using the muscles of the core, lift the body so that weight is equally distributed between toes and forearms.
5. Hold for between five and ten seconds. Slowly lower.
6. Perform up to three reps, progressing to 15 seconds each.
This exercise can be progressed by raising one foot off the ground while in the lifted position.
You will feel this!  |
