hey everybody it’s your personal trainer coach Kozak and I’m Claudia and this is a lower abs workout this workout doesn’t require any equipment but depending on the service that you’re working out on you may want to use a mat I’m going to be doing the intermediate to advanced exercises and follow me for the beginner modification [Music] alright we’re getting right into this thing no waste in time let’s go down to the ground from moving into a flutter kick so I wouldn’t place those hands at the small of your back and tailbone I’m gonna have my legs out straight for this one we’re Claudia’s gonna have her knees bent at about a ninety degree angle you decide which variation is right for you but either way we’re going from about a zero to a 45 on those flutter kicks give the abs tight once you also if you feel a little strain or pressure in your low back curl that chin in a little chin tuck and that’ll help keep your lower back on the ground on this one we relieve any little lower back tension that you may have again make sure to breathe this is a great one for those lure that lower abdominal area just burning it out right here guys and as this workout progresses and it keeps getting tougher it’s so important that you focus on what motivates you what brought you here whether you just want to have a killer six-pack trying to get better at sports or just trying to dominate

or if you want a little extra work you want to get a little crazy with me on this one if you’re doing this plank variation make sure you return all the way back to square your back straight in between
