FitCi
Step-by-step
- Lie on your back with your knees bent and the soles of your feet flat on the floor.
- Cross your arms over your chest or place your fingertips at your ears.
- Bring your chin slightly toward your chest, but do not press it down.
- Squeeze your abs to curl your torso up toward your knees one vertebra at a time.
- Pause for 1 second at the top, then lower back down with the same control, one vertebra at a time.
Coaching tip
Do not pull your head with your hands; rise by curling your spine off the floor one vertebra at a time.
Caution
