Exercise Description

The abdominal pendulum exercise builds rotational core strength and targets your abs while improving stability. It mimics a pendulum motion to work your entire core.

How To

1. Lie on your back with arms out to sides for stability and legs straight up at 90 degrees 2. Keep your shoulders flat on the ground and slowly lower both legs to one side 3. Stop when your legs are about 6 inches from the floor and feel the stretch in your abdominal pendulum position 4. Use your core to pull your legs back to center, then repeat the abdominal pendulum movement to the other side 5. Keep the motion slow and controlled throughout each rep

Form Tips

• Keep your shoulders pressed into the floor during the entire abdominal pendulum movement • Move slowly and control the descent - don't let gravity do the work • Stop before your feet touch the ground to maintain tension in your abdominal pendulum exercise • Breathe out as you pull your legs back to center

Common Mistakes

• Letting your shoulders lift off the ground during the abdominal pendulum exercise • Moving too fast and using momentum instead of core strength • Lowering your legs too far in the abdominal pendulum movement and losing control
