Choose a weight that you are comfortably able to slide from side to side. It is recommended that in your
ini al core workouts lighter weight is be er than heavier weight. More important than weight is the em-
phasis placed on quality form and stability while performing the exercises.
Persons with back and spinal problems should only a empt these exercises under the strict supervision of
a trained professional.
If pain or discomfort is experienced - immediately stop exercising. If condi ons persist, please seek medi-
cal a en on.
Failure to use proper form and heed warnings may result in personal injury.
Torso exercises use many of the same mo ons previously described. However,
emphasis is now placed on keeping the arms locked in a comfortable but
straight posi on. The legs are also locked in a comfortable but straight posi on
forming a firm base of support. The movement originates from the torso. Speed
is not important. Move at a comfortable pace without rapid jerking or twis ng.
