Define Abs with Hop-a-Longs | Advanced Combination

Define abs with this full body workout on StrongBoard Balance Board! It’s great for working the core, while also working upper & lower body.

1. Position your board long ways, standing with feet together, knees slightly bent, on the left side of the board.

2. Drop down into a squatted position, keeping your chest up, shoulders in your back pockets.

3. Drop your shoulders, placing your left hand on the ground and right hand across the center of the StrongBoard platform.  Keep your head aligned with your spine.

4. Engage your abs and jump your legs back into plank position, maintaining ab contraction and keeping your head in line with your spine.  To make this easier, you can step your legs back one at a time instead of jumping.

5. Bend at your elbows, dropping yourself into a lower push up position, maintaining neutral spine and neck and keeping your abs engaged.

6. Push yourself to upper pushup position, then thrust into side plank, keeping your right hand across the StrongBoard platform and bringing your left hand up towards the sky.  Be sure to keep your abs engaged and maintain proper alignment from head to heels.
