Abdominal Lifts - Great Warm Up & Core Work Out

Abdominal Lifts give a great core workout while developing breathing muscles in your abdomen. They tone your abdominals, strengthen your lower back, boost your metabolism. They're a great way to start any workout. Some dieters use them to help them loose weight. Seniors like them to help keep things 'moving along'.

They go well with the Simple Side Bend and Butterfly Breathing to get your day or your workouts off to a zestful start.

Here are detailed instructions, presented by the founder of Serenity Yoga, Corinne Friesen.

CAVEATS: Don't do these if you're pregnant or if you have untreated high blood pressure.

Hello,

Thanks for posting this. My spouse found it and hopes it will help with this recurrence. April 06 I was dx with Herniated and torn discs at L4-5 and L5-S1, with major nerve impingement. Had epidural nerve block procedures to reduce severe inflammation but it was the p/t that helped most. Careful Pelvic tilts were the first steps. Symptoms recurring, want to begin helping myself. Can you show how to MODIFY this for someone like me? Advice appreciated & kudos to you for this help

Hi, simdisiwe. I'm so glad you're finding things on the site that are helping you with your breathing and that you're noticing differences! Good breathing *does* make such a difference! Now, about the 'light headedness' and the headache feeling... I'll put my thoughts into the next comment post.

[AudioYoga]

Do you mean you're feeling light headache etc when you're doing the chest breathing? If so, then it's can mean that you're getting more oxygen than you're used to. That goes away or at least becomes lessened as you do the exercise more often. Try taking longer to breathe out. *It can also mean you have high blood pressure, so you might want to get that checked.*
