This exercise targets: abdominal muscles
For this exercise, you will need: an exercise mat
Lie on your back and raise your legs so you form a 90 degree angle with your upper body. Your feet and heels should form the same angle, while your arms rest behind your head.
When raising your upper body, touch your toes and then return back to the starting position with your arms behind your head.
Tips:
Form a 90 degree angle in your heels – this way you will be working on your legs too.
Do not hold in your breath as you work out. Exhale during the effort or lifting portion and inhale while lowering.
Advanced: Use very light dumbbells. If you are using more than a 6 lbs dumbbell, your hands should start out at knee level.
Go slower to give your muscles a more intense work out.
Beginners: 10 repetitions
Intermediate level: 15 repetitions
Advanced level: 20 repetitions
