How To - Starfish Holds
Starfish Holds
Starfish crunches. You're going to start with your legs and your arms. Out away from each other in a starfish position, opposite leg, opposite arm are going to move, be moving here. So if you have only one monkey foot, or if you have two great, you get to save some time, but one at a time, I'm going to work right leg, left arm, crunching them up toward one another and back down.
If you need this hand to support you, put it underneath the base of your skull behind your neck and lift. Otherwise you can lift them together. Kind of just reaching this one out away from you the entire time. So even the lit. The leg that's just relaxed. We want to activate it. Reach away this arm. That's relaxed.
Reach away. You're lifting crunch. So you're creating tension through the entire body. It isn't just about the leg and arm that have the weight in them. If having weight is too difficult, get rid of it. It's too easy. Increase the weight to the same number on each side.
