"Wait, wait..." Zee stood back up, her expression awkward.
"Are there no other exercises to work the core besides the ones where I have to lie down?" Zee asked, her voice sounding strained.
Jonathan furrowed his brow, then offered a small smile. "There is. Do you want to use the Ab Roller? But it can be a bit tricky for beginners."
"Yes! Yes, let's use that!" Zee exclaimed hurriedly. Her body was stiff and clumsy, clearly trying hard to hide her internal panic.
Jonathan retrieved the Ab Roller from the shelf. "Bend your knees. Get into a crawl position," Jonathan instructed.
Zee immediately positioned her body as directed, with her knees and palms resting on the floor.
"Hold the handles of this tool," Jonathan continued.
