Beginner: Funky Abs

Our model Sarah, a trainer in New York City, keeps her abs tight by running intervals and biking and swimming regularly.

Targets: Abs, lower back

  • Stand with feet about hip-width apart, knees slightly bent, shoulders down.
  • Engage abs and tilt pelvis forward so back is rounded.
  • Return to center and then reverse the motion -- tilt pelvis backward so butt is sticking out. Do 15 reps; 2 sets.

You tilt your pelvis backward to round your back, opposite of what you tell.

Nice exercises and - as I agree to greatgranny91 - no pain in the neck! But it would be great to add "reversed" exercises here, which complement these ones. I'm talking about back exercises, e.g. like a Superman: http://www.stomachfat.com/ARTICLES/Health/Exercises/Superman.html (sorry, I forgot it's yogic name on Sanskrit). Because, you know, after a bunch of ab exercises it feels harmoniously to complement it with back muscles tension. You should write another article about it!

you need a key to reach a specific frame without having to wind slowly through three or four intermediate frames just to recheck a point of form.
