"Before running - upper abdominal training" This movement mainly trains our abdomen, that is, the upper abdominal muscles. During the movement, you must prevent excessive force on the shoulders and neck, and keep your body stable. Remember not to hold your breath, and maintain normal breathing and exhalation.
