Football Friday: The Toss Up

SqueezeItIn.com Girls

SqueezeItIn.com is kicking off football season with Football Fridays. Whether you are a true football fan or a fan for your man you can SqueezeItIn while watching the big game.  Look for a new Football Friday exercise every Friday through the end of September.

Grab a pigskin (or any ball) and toss your way to tighter abs.

Toss Up 1

Lie on floor with your knees bent.  Grasp the football between your hands. Your lower back should be flat against the floor.  Engage your abs – squeezing your belly button toward your spine.  (See photo.)

Toss Up 2Toss the ball into the air while contracting your abs, then raise your shoulders off of the floor and catch the ball.  Grab the ball hold the crunch for a 3-count of Squeeze-It-In and lower slowly back down.  Repeat crunching, throwing and catching for 2 sets of 12.

Remember to breathe throughout this movement.  Exhale as you are coming up and inhale as you lower back to the floor.

Caution: The movement comes from your belly, not your neck. If using the ball is too difficult and strains your neck, put the ball down and gently place your hands behind your head for the remainder of your set.

    I Love this new way to excersise too!!! I am glad you came up with this excersise plan. Everytime I am putting away the dishes or doing the laundry or even watching TV I can be doing something. I love it. I don’t have time to do the whole gym thing but I do take time to walk. To be able to excersise while I clean the house is awesome. Thank you so much for your creative mind and sharing it with all of us. Be blessed, Jeannie
