Fit Body Boot Camp San Mateo Health Club 12/10/15: Holiday Transformation Challenge Day 66: Thursday Core – Cardio Flat Abs Workout – Brien Shamp’s Fitness, Nutrition & Coaching

3 Phase Warm-Up:

Phase 1: Warm-Up: Perform 3 minutes of diaphragmatic breathing while lying supine: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-_NNCrrdus Lie on back and initiate breathing with belly–>rib cage and then chest, instead of initiating with chest. Breathe in and out of nose for approximately 15s each breath (5s inhale–> 5 s hold–> 5 s exhale). Emphasize that campers do this upon rising and going to sleep and if they want an amazing shift in their state at any time, while breathing think about 3 things they are grateful for.
