Lay back onto the floor and place your hands behind your head interlacing your fingers together. Exhale as you crunch your upper body forwards using your hands to pull to assist this movement. Do not allow your lower back to raise from the floor Squeeze your abs muscles inwards at the top of the motion and hold the position for a count of 1. Inhale as you lower your upper body and arms back to the floor in a slow, controlled manner keeping your legs strong and solid.
