How to perform

  1. 1

    Lie down on the floor placing your feet either under something that will not move or by having a partner hold them. Your legs should be bent at the knees.

  2. 2

    Place your hands behind your head and lock them together by clasping your fingers. This is the starting position.

  3. 3

    Elevate your upper body so that it creates an imaginary V-shape with your thighs. Breathe out when performing this part of the exercise.

  4. 4

    Once you feel the contraction for a second, lower your upper body back down to the starting position while inhaling.

  5. 5

    Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions.

Important tips

  • Exhale on the effort — brace your abs before every rep.

  • Slow reps make the difference — abs hate momentum.

  • Keep your lower back glued to the floor where applicable.
