No, it’s not a decorating technique. It’s an abdominal workout. And it’s amazingly simple.

• Lean your back against a flat wall and bend your knees –not too deep, just enough to feel it in your thighs.
• Lace your fingers behind your head and keep your elbows pointed outwards (do not bring those elbows in!)
• Now, contract your abdominal muscles, and allow the contraction to pull your shoulders forward and down (do not bring those elbows in!)
• Then flatten your shoulders back against the wall.
• Take a breath, and repeat (10 or 20 times)

See? Easy, right? You’re gonna feel it tomorrow, but for now just bask in the euphoric afterglow…
