Notes

Original Toronto Star caption: Abdominal strengthening: Prepare yourself for this exercise: the most difficult and exhausting in the Lilian Jarvis series. Pressing your arms against the floor is all the help you should need as you use your abdominals to roll your hips up. Breathing out ensures that they draw inward and don't tighten up.
