This exercise adds the oblique
abdominals to this great pelvic stability exercise
To do this exercise you will
need a mat. Start by lying on your back in a tabletop position. Inhale as
you turn your knees to one side and exhale as you top your toes to the ground
and lift them back to the twisted tabletop position. Inhale as you turn
your knees to the other side and exhale as you top both toes to the ground with
the knees pointing to the side. Repeat alternating sides 8-10 times
Things to think about
One of the challenges of this exercise is to keep
the pelvis from rolling from side to side when you twist your knees. It
is important to think of the thighbones rotating in the socket so that the
pelvis can stay stable.
As with all of these exercises, making sure that
you can get all of the air out of the lungs on the exhale is also important for
the grounding of the ribcage.
