Tva Pull



  • Lay supine with both knees bent and feet flat on the floor. Place your hands on your abdominals

  • Inhale deeply feeling your abdomen and chest rise. Exhale and pull your abs into your lower back, feeling as if you are drawing your hips bones together. Hold for a few seconds, then repeat.

  • Abdominals 

  • Rectus abdominis

  • TIP: Feel as if you are trying to pull your abs in so much that they hug your spine. Relax your hips and hamstrings so that the only muscles you are contracting are your abdominals.
