Motivation is what gets you started.
Habit is what keeps you going.

What's your habit? What's your drive?
Do you quit when it gets tough?

The popular workout quote says; "No Pain, no gain!"
I know it could be painful today, but you'd be proud of you tomorrow, don't quit!

So, go through the workout programs, practice them and show us and everyone how you do it.
Trust me, you'd get to love doing that.

Now, let head straight to our training program for today.

Like we said in our previous class, we would discus three programs that focuses on abs.
We've discussed one in our last class (Flutter kicks), and today, we would discus another - Ab Tuck

At the end of the class, we hope to understand the following :

• What's Ab Tuck?
• Benefits of Ab Tuck.
• Targeted muscle group.
• Proper ways to do it!
• Mistakes to avoid!

Let's get started!

AB TUCK

Ab Tuck is a full body-weight exercise that works on the muscles across your entire body, but focuses primarily on your core. That involves your lower and upper abs, rectus abdominis and obliques.

The program can easily be done anywhere, since all it needs is a mat and your dedicated self to start it up.

Be assured, it is effective once you're getting it right.
It should be added into your workout routine.

BENEFITS OF AB TUCK

The following are the benefits of this exercise:

• Leg strength
• Burns belly fat.
• Gives the hip a good shape.
• Strengthens the core muscle.
• Improves body posture and balance.

TARGETED MUSCLE GROUP

Ab Tuck targets the following muscle:

• Back.
• Core.
• Legs.

But it puts the whole body to work during the exercise.
So, it's also a full body workout.

PROPER WAY TO DO IT

Method 1: Get a mat, lie face up with your arm over your head.

Method 2: Lift your Legs, arms and shoulders off the ground. They should be at least, 2 to 3 inches above the floor.

Method 3: Now, bend your knees and bring them towards your chest. At the same time, draw your arms towards your buttocks and thigh.

Pause for few seconds when you get to this point.

Method 4: Now, return to the starting position and repeat the process.

Do this for 50- 55 seconds of 5 sets.
After each set, take a 10-15 seconds break.

Remember this, gently lower your legs and arms when your are done doing each set.

MISTAKES TO AVOID

1: Avoid moving too quick. You might be wanting to count lots of reps before the end of your stipulated time. While they might give you joy, you should know that you might have been doing the program the wrong way.

Slow the movement, that way, it makes it harder, better and easy to control. And most importantly, it give you the desired result.

2: Avoid tightening or stiffing your shoulders and neck during the program.
Keep your upper body relaxed, then exhale and inhale at interval.

3: Avoid slumping your back. You might get to see your back taking a C-shape during the program.
That might be easier, but your get the exercise wrong.
So, try to maintain a proper posture as when returning to the starting position just as shown in Method 1.

CONCLUSION

We've come to the end of our training section for today. I hope we understood what was discussed and would practice it.

Remember, if you have any question, do drop it at the comment section, I'd reply you.

Set out a body goal and let us know about it.

I'd see you all in our next class.

Stay healthy and fit!
