So now we're going to combine the upper ab and lower ab isolations to create a belly roll. Keeping the knees bent, chest lifted, we're going to contract just the upper abs, then contract the just the lower abs so that the whole belly is super tight. Push out the upper abs and then push out the lower abs. Contract them in, in, out and out. Let's try that with music. And smoothing it out. And you can reverse this starting with the bottom up, so you're going to contract the lower abs first, bring the chest down, contracting the upper abs, releasing the lower abs, releasing the upper abs. In, in, out, out. In, in, out, out. And a little faster. And that's how you belly roll.

Omg, that's exhausting. Thank you SO much for these very clear tutorials! I'm using them to spice up my water exercise classes. (We can bounce and jiggle underwater with little self-consciousness, so the bellydancing moves add some fun and challenge -- and a great core workout!)

[strawberry-tget]

[alexispur]

[Toxicwormz]

[WafflePancakes]

how am I only supposed to contract one part of my belly at time?!?!?!?

[kakkorot]

If anyone else finds this video recently like i did, i found the "quarter trick" super helpful to learn this concept. Basic idea is you lay flat on your back, put a quarter on your stomach, and practice rolling/flipping that quarter up and down your abs with JUST your abs to move it. Difficult at first but a surprisingly fun way to learn, that proved to have enough "feedback" to keep me invested in my progress

[YuukiCriss]

how the hell am I supposed to pull up half belly ?! It's just fisically impossible xD urghh

[haileywhitten]

I don't have no ABS I have jello xD

[monsteri]
