The abs are important for both stability and movement! It’s important to know how to work them out in all ranges of motion to allow our backs to articulate and also protect our internal organs.

In this mat we will hit the floor just a couple of times, to roll on the spine. Every other exercise will be standing or against the wall. It's interesting how the exercises will change, and the challenge will shift from what we are used to. Perfect posture workout to enhance your balance!

The lower back and the pelvis are often the areas of the body where we accumulate tension because of our posture or position during the day: If we sit too much great tension is accumulated in front of the hips and same if we stand incorrectly!
