Ankle Grabbers (not your kids)

Ankle Grabbers (not your kids)

Who: All Ab Workout Enthusiasts
When: Post Run/workout of choice
Where: yoga mat, carpeted area or soft patch of grass
Why: to increase strength in oblique abdominal muscles

Preparation: Lay on the floor with your knees bent and hip-width distance apart.  Hands should be extended at your sides.  Using only your abdominal muscles, lift your shoulder blades off the floor.  This is your starting position.

Execution: Press your low back firmly into the ground, and slowly reach forward to grab the outside of your right ankle with your right hand.  Repeat on the left side.  Do not lower between repetitions.

Repeat 30x (15 each side)
