DANCER FIT: dancing fitness back into your life |
Fun and new ways to look at fitness, health, sweating, and in all, having a good time. Living every day as if its your first. Being a dangercat and finding the mind lemonade and visual caffeine you need to stay on track, get inspired, be motivated and get your mojo in full swing! |
Add two low pound weights to this exercise for a little extra torching power in the benefits that this move can have on your overall core and stabilizing muscles.
By doing this well known yoga pose with some weights, you are not only engaging your oblique abdominals on a higher scale, but are also working your back and hamstrings for an ultimate core-amped move.

Hold the weights in both hands and refrain from twisting your neck while using the weights. Keep looking forward to avoid neck strain, and focus on pulling yourself up with the contraction from your obliques.
Do 12 reps on one side before switching to the other side!
