Primary Muscles Used:Abs, Rectus Abdominis

  1. Place a chair horizontally in front of you. Start by lying straight on your back on the floor, with your feet elevated on the chair and hands behind your earlobes, as shown. Engage your abdominal muscles by drawing your belly button in towards your spine. This is your starting position.
  2. Slowly allow your head, shoulder blades and torso to lift off of the floor. Ensure that it is your abdominals that initiate the movement, and that you do not use your arms to ‘swing’ your torso up. As you sit up, reach forwards with your hands and touch your toes (or the action of). Slowly release your arms and torso to return to starting position. Repeat for the specified number of repetitions.
