PROPER FORM AND BREATHING PATTERN

Keep your upper body stable, use your core strength to stabilize your body, and maintain a neutral spine during the entire exercise. Exhale as you bring your knees toward the chest and squeeze your abs.

    I just completed 4 weeks of the weight loss plan. I cannot believe how much my body has changed in such a short period of time. I am wearing clothes that I couldn't fit in a year ago. A week before my 57th birthday - I am pretty damn happy!
