Lying Leg Raises
Firstly ensure that your legs are slightly bent throughout this exercise.
• Lie on your back with your hands, palms down under your buttocks.
• Raise your legs about 12 inches off the floor and hold them there.
• Make sure the base of your spine is pressed against the floor (this will ensure that your back has the correct support).
• Now trying to use just your lower abs, tilt your pelvis and raise your legs a further 6 inches.
• Hold for a few seconds then return to your original position.
• Keep going with this exercise until you can feel it in your abs.
Reverse Crunch
• Lying on your back on the floor, hold onto a table leg to help keep your torso against the floor throughout the exercise.
• Keep the knees slightly bent.
• Pull your pelvis and legs up slowly so that your knees are above your chest.
• Slowly return to beginning position.
Cross-Knee Crunches
The Cross-Knee Crunch is a slight variation on the regular crunch (which you can find out about along with the sit-up at Sit Ups and Crunches).
• Like ab crunches, you start by lying on the floor with your knees bent.
• Instead of crunching forwards and backwards you should crunch diagonally so that you try to move each shoulder toward the opposite hip, moving shoulders alternately.
• At the top position, one shoulder and one hip should be off the ground.
• Ensure every crunch is done slowly to get the maximum benefit.
