Lie on your back with your calves over a flat exercise bench. Place your hands behind your head:
- Inhale and lift your shoulders off the floor.
- Try to touch your knees with your head.
- Exhale as your complete the movement.
This exercise focuses on the rectus abdominis, particularly above the navel. By placing your torso father from the bench you increase pelvic mobility, which allows your torso upward by contracting the iliopsoas tensor fasciae latae, and rectus femoris in order to flex the hips.
