Avery focuses (again) on core exercises, emphasizing that yoga poses are simply body shapes with benefits. The workout involves bicycle poses, which engage various abdominal muscles and obliques, and is described as fun and fast-paced. Avery advises working at one's own pace, breathing, and relaxing. The session includes alternating elbow-to-knee movements, with each set lasting 10 breaths, followed by rocking the knees and optional shavasana. Avery notes that the workout may cause delayed muscle soreness, indicating reawakened muscle groups.

Avery Cundill leads a yoga session focused on strengthening the lower abdominal muscles, which also benefits the back and aids in stabilization and balance. The exercise can also tone the inner thighs. Avery emphasizes the importance of breathing and moderation to avoid back strain. The session begins with the participant lying on their back, legs bent, and arms in various positions. The exercise involves lifting and lowering the legs in sync with breaths, repeating this for 10 breaths. Participants can choose to rest or repeat the set. Avery encourages embracing the heat and energy generated during the practice.

Today I guide listeners through a yoga session focused on strengthening the lower abdominal muscles, or “low abs.” I explain the importance of targeting different core muscle groups for overall stability, mobility, and spinal health, noting that most previous work has focused on the upper abdominals and obliques. The session begins with participants lying on their backs, knees bent, and hands positioned for comfort. Avery instructs a breathing exercise: lifting knees on the inhale and lowering feet on the exhale, repeated for ten breaths. Listeners are encouraged to repeat the set or rest in Shavasana, embracing the strength gained.
