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!

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.
