This exercise is designed to work your abdominal muscles.

Instructions

  1. Start this exercise by lying on a mat with your legs bent and feet flat on the floor. Your arms should be straight out in front of you as if to touch your knees.

  2. Bend in a crunch-like motion upwards, using your arms to reach straight out in front of you. Hold for 2-3 seconds. Slowly roll back down onto the mat and return to start position.

  3. Recommended reps: 10-12 to start, and increase as you progress with this exercise.
