  • Firm your stomach, but be sure not to hold your breath

Breaking it Down

Arms

  • Push arms straight out in front, palms out, fingers up
  • Palms up, pull arms back, squeezing shoulder blades together at the end of the motion

Legs

  • Right foot out, push down like pushing on a gas peddle
  • Left foot out, push down like pushing on a gas peddle
