Belly Basics

 Lie face up on the floor, knees bent, lower legs parallel to the floor. Lift your head and shoulders off the floor. Extend your arms, palms down, holding them about 6 inches off the floor [A]. Pulse your arms up and down quickly as you inhale for 5 counts, then exhale for 5,
pulling your navel toward your spine. Do 20 counts, working up to 100. As you progress, extend both legs to a 45-degree angle [B].
