Abdominal Pendulum Instructions

  1. Place a mat on the floor and lie down on your back.
  2. Put your arms out at right angles to your body with your palms on the floor.
  3. Keep your legs straight and your legs off the floor until they're at a right angle to the floor. This is the start of the exercise.
  4. Rotating only at the hips, slowly lower your feet to one as far as possible without losing stability.
  5. Do not pause, and raise your feet up and across to the opposite side.
  6. This is one rep. Repeat for desired reps.

Abdominal Pendulum Tips

  • This exercise can also be done with a dumbbell held between the feet for some added intensity.
  • For maximum benefit do the exercise slowly and lower feet as far as possible.
