Decoding the Teaser: It's Not Just Abs

The Teaser. It's the move everyone loves to hate. But if you're only feeling it in your hip flexors or lower back, let's break it down.

Articulation is Key

The Teaser isn't a static hold; it's a rolling movement. We articulate the spine up bone by bone. If your spine is stiff, your abs have to work twice as hard.

Start Small

Don't rush to the full V-shape. Start with knees bent and feet on the floor. Master the "C-Curve" of the lower spine first. This is where the true strength lies—in the deep, scoop of the abdominals, not the gripping of the thighs.
