when a client needs a little more challenge. And when his existing roster of abs moves isn't quite doing the trick? He invents a brand new one.
You've probably tried leg raises in the past. This move takes the core-strengthening staple to the next level with a resistance band. Start by lying faceup, holding a resistance band with each hand gripping one end. While your arms pull apart the band, slowly raise your legs up until the bottoms of your feet face the ceiling. Then, slowly lower your legs back down until they're a few inches off the ground. You can also grip a medicine ball between your feet for additional resistance, like Bruno does.
When your legs are near the floor, keep your lower back flush against the floor. Then, as you lift at a "nice controlled tempo, without using momentum," Bruno advises clients to allow the tailbone and pelvis to lift a little bit. "A slight lift will help engage the abdominals and not just the hip flexors," he explains. "Pop your butt off the floor just slightly. Keep a neutral spine but create a hip lift with a slight tilt.
