9.W CRUNCH


Sit on the fl oor with
knees bent and feet fl at
on the fl oor. Keeping
your legs together,
slowly lift them off the
fl oor until they form
a 45-degree angle to
your torso. Engage
your entire core, keep
your back in alignment,
and balance on your
tailbone.


Reach your arms
straight out in front of
you, parallel to the fl oor
(palms down). If you
feel you need some
extra support, place
your hands on the fl oor,
underneath your hips.


Hold here for a
moment then straighten
out your legs, while
also lowering your
upper body. Both your
shoulder blades and
legs should hover a
couple of inches off
the fl oor.


Hold for a moment,
then lift your legs and
torso back to the start
position. That’s one rep.
