Reverse crunch with kick out

How to do it

1. 1 Lie down on your back and place your hands behind your head.
2. 2 Raise both your legs straight towards the ceiling by bending your hips to nearly 90 degrees and hold this position. This is your starting position.
3. 3 Contract your abdominals and raise your hips off the ground, curling them towards your chest. Slowly lower them down to the starting position and repeat.

Tips

• Keep your knees straight throughout this exercise.
• Only raise your hips/buttocks off the ground, and do not lift your back.
• Maintain a smooth breathing rhythm throughout the exercise.
