- UPS AND DOWNS
Lie face up with your
legs extended and hands
either at your sides or
tucked underneath your
hips for extra support.
Lift your legs off the
ground (keeping them
together and as straight
as possible) until your
feet are roughly six inches
from the fl oor. This is your
starting position.
Hold there for a second,
then raise your legs to
about 12 inches from the
fl oor (again, keeping them
together and as straight as
possible). Hold there for a
second before returning
your legs to six inches off
the fl oor. That’s one rep.
Remember, don’t let
your feet touch the fl oor.
Instead, keep them
hovering around six inches
off the ground throughout.
As you perform this
move, be sure to keep your
lower back fl at on the fl oor
(if you're struggling to do
so, don't lower your legs
so far).- BUTTERFLY SIT-UP
Lie face up with the soles of your feet together and your knees bent.
Reach your arms overhead so that the backs of your hands are touching the fl oor.
This is your starting position.
Use your core to roll your body up into a sitting position, then reach forward to
touch your toes.
Slowly lower yourself to the starting position before beginning the next rep.AB WORKOUT
