Resistance is a vital part of any
workout and the resistance created with the Fitness Circle gives you a great muscle massage deep inside the core of you.
1. Chest Press- Hold the magic circle. Make sure your elbows point out. Now press the circle with your hands, exerting force as if you
want to compress it. This exercise works on strengthening and toning your chest muscles called pectorals.
2. Abdominal Crunch- Lie down straight on
your back (supine). Fold your knees and place your feet flat on the floor. Keep the magic circle in between the knees. As
you crunch up, exhale and at the same time contract the circle with your inner thighs. This helps to eliminate any movement
of hip flexors, which might assist your abdominals while doing the crunch. At the same time you are working on your inner
thigh muscles (adductors).
3. Bridging- lying in the same position as above raise your hips up and simultaneously squeeze the circle. This is an exercise where
you are tilting your pelvic upwards, thereby toning and strengthening abdominals, back and inner thigh. If you hold this position
of pelvic tilt along with squeezing the circle, you will be isometrically working on the above mentioned muscle groups.
The transitions from exercise to exercise should be smooth.
The key to many of the exercises is to compress the Fitness Circle and HOLD that position and that's harder done than
said!
Caution: The Fitness
Circle is a bit heavy at 2 lbs., so exercise with care. Also NEVER wear long pants when using the Fitness Circle as it can
slip.
How to hold it: Use
long, open, hands with your fingers together, out-stretched and long. Don't squeeze it between your fists. You need to keep
your elbows bent a bit and slide your shoulders down as you move them. Never hyperextend your knees or elbows.
