Primary Muscle: Abs
Equipment: No Equipment
Level: Beginner
Purpose: To target the upper abs.
Execution: Lay flat on a mat with your lower back flat against the ground. Place your hands along either side of your body and your feet flat on the floor with your knees bent. Crunch up, lifting your shoulder blades off the floor while curling your spine. Squeeze your abs as you raise yourself, especially at the top of each rep, before slowly lowering yourself to the start position. Be sure to fully exhale your breath as you crunch up and inhale as you lower yourself.
