Instructions:

1. Using a mat, lie down on your back with knees bent and feet flat on the floor, about hip-width apart.

2. Place your hands behind your head, your thumbs behind your ears. Keep your elbows out to the sides but slightly towards your chest.

3. While gently pulling your abdominals inward, curl up and move forward so that your head, neck, and shoulder blades are raised off the floor.

4. Hold for a second or two at the top of the movement and then lower slowly down. Repeat for the desired number of reps.

Important Tips:

1. Don’t pull on your neck with your hands.

2. Keep your abdominals pulled in so you feel more stretch in your abs.

3. Breathe out as you crunch up. Breathe in as you lower down.

4. Perform crunches very slowly and with control.
