Mix It Up! Running Man Sit-Up


Hello Hello, 

Welcome back!  I hope the long weekend treated you well.  We were very lucky in that we didn't lose power and trucks have been plowing non-stop.  I am very excited for this short week but that means kicking it back into high gear and coming up to the fitness center!  During your ab routine, fit this new move in to target all of your abdominal muscles and burn them out.

Lie on your back with your elbows bent at 90 degrees.  Quickly sit up and bring your left elbow to your right knee.  It is very similar to the same opposite elbow to opposite knee motion that is done in a bicycle crunch.  The only difference is that you are now sitting up; making it look like a running man (or woman).

Modified:  If you can't sit all the way up, you can still crunch up and add a small torso twist as you bring your elbow to your knee.  


Complete 3-5 sets of 30 seconds or go for 10 reps each leg!
