Day 5

Today we go back to ab bracing.

Repetition is important; that’s what makes our muscles get stronger. 

So, we repeat the same exercise, and I bet you’ll find that it’s a little easier (or at least you have a better sense of what you are doing, which is a win!)

Here is your Challenge for today: 

• Step #1: Learn:

  • Watch (or review) this short clip where I teach the ab bracing exercise.

  • Click here to watch the longer instructional core video if you want more information on the exercise. 
    

• Step #2: Modify:

  • Remember, if this exercise is too difficult or you want to do it standing or sitting, learning the modification option is always good. Some people like these versions better than the original- and they both get your core strong. Watch the modification video here. 
    

• Step #3: Practice:

  • Try holding the “suck, tuck, and squeeze” for five to 15 seconds. Rest and repeat one or two more times.

  • See? We are making this a little harder by adding an extra repetition and a few more seconds of the hold.

    • Does that feel like too much? Do less! Reduce it to one repetition, or fewer seconds. 

    • Does that feel like not enough? That’s okay. We are going to keep adding intensity over time.
      

• Step #4: Share!

  • Want to share your ab bracing experiences with others? Or have questions to ask me and the coaches? Click here to post on the Facebook Group. Let’s talk about our suck, tuck and squeeeeeeeze!
    

Remember: slow and steady wins the race, and a little bit goes a long way. 

I believe in you! You ARE Autoimmune Strong!

In Strength + Love.
