Audio from the Scissors Core and Abs Exercise
Final exercise. And we’re going to be doing the scissors. Now the scissors is another core exercise. And the objective is to keep the pelvis nice and still while we move the feet and the legs like some scissors, lowering them to the floor. Let me show you how it’s done.
So start by lying on your back with your fingertips just into the small of your back. Don’t push them all the way in. Then lift both of your legs and flatten your lower back so that you can feel the pressure on your fingertips. That’s very important. Now you need to maintain that pressure on your fingertips throughout the whole exercise. So we’re going to lower one leg down, touch the heel on the floor, keeping the pressure on the fingertips. Bring the leg back up, and then we’re going to switch legs. If you start to lose that pressure off your fingertips, either bend the legs like this, or don’t take the legs down too far, so maybe just to here. The key part is to keep that pressure always on the fingertips.
You’re going to do 50 repetitions in total, alternating legs. So that will be one, two, three and so on, up to 50. Remember, you must keep that pressure on your fingertips, otherwise you’re starting to use the wrong muscles and you’re building up really bad habits. And ultimately you’re not improving your core strength at all. So good luck with that. Final exercise. 50 to do. Get stuck into it.
