How to do it
6 stepsLie on your back with your knees bent and your feet anchored, or held down by a partner.
Place your fingertips behind your head. This is your start position.
Exhale and curl your upper body up until your torso forms a V shape with your thighs.
Pause for a second at the top.
Inhale and lower yourself slowly back to the floor.
Repeat for the planned reps.
Pulling on your neck strains it. Keep your elbows wide and lift with your abs.
For more challenge, hold a weight crossed over your chest. To make it easier, lift only to about 45 degrees.
