PREPARATION:

1. Lie down on your back on the floor.

2.  Bring your legs up off the floor, bent at a 90-degree angle.

3. Place your arms down at your sides, straight, palms-down, about 4" above the floor.

4. Place your lower back tightly to the floor.

EXECUTION:

1. Inhale deeply.

2. Exhale and raise the shoulders halfway up off the floor, chin tucked in and hold.  Breathe
slowly.

3. In this position, contract the transverse abs again as in the Scarlett O'Hara, pulling the navel
down toward the spine.

4. Now begin "fluttering" your arms up and down in about a 4" range of motion, full-arm
movement, not just the wrists. The hands shouldn't come off the floor more than 4" or so.

5. Hold this position while "fluttering" - to fatigue, breathing in 4 counts, out 4 counts.

6. Repeat once again to fatigue.
NOTE: If you think that the "fluttering" is useless, try it without it and you will instantly notice
the difference.
