Here is Easter doing an Ab Pike Exercise that is a challenging! The pike exercise is an abdominal exercise designed to tighten and tone the major parts of your core or torso region. The pike is an exercise that involves balance and stability. Some variations even call for lifting movements of the legs. Originally derived from yoga poses, the pike is an effective abdominal strengthener that should only be attempted by experienced athletes and advanced exercisers. Learning how to do the pike and a few of its myriad of variations is fairly simple. Starting Position Spread out a mat on an open space of floor or clear away enough space to lie down flat on your back on a carpet. Lie flat on the mat in push-up position, holding an ab wheel with your arms. Make sure to have your feet and legs together; keep your knees straight. Slightly tuck your stomach so that the middle portion of your lower back is protected against injury. Keep your back straight and strong throughout the entire length of the exercise. Ending Position Pull the ab wheel toward your feet utilizing an action resembling a crunch with your entire body so that you form an upside-down V with your body. Balance in this position and as your body makes slight micro-adjustments to keep from toppling over, you will feel your abdominals, lower back and oblique muscles working overtime. Hold this position for 10 to 30 seconds and then slowly lower back down to the starting position. Rest briefly and then repeat. #health #fitness #fit #TagsForLikes #TFLers #fitnessmodel #fitnessaddict #fitspo #workout #bodybuilding #cardio #gym #train #training #photooftheday #health #healthy #instahealth #healthychoices #active #strong #motivation #instagood #determination #lifestyle #diet #getfit #cleaneating #eatclean #exercise
