Power House Workout #3: Single Straight Leg Stretch
So it’s been about a week, and I assume you all have been doing your single and double leg stretches. Well, this week we have a fun one - the Single Straight Leg Stretch. I’ve been doing the first two workouts along with my usual routine, and I can definitely feel a difference in my abs! So take a read then hit the gym (or your bedroom floor). xoxo IVEE
