Raised Knee Crunches - Tone Building Upper Abs ( Abdominals ) Exercise for Six Pack Abs

Technique - Start by sitting down on the floor in an area that will provide enough room to perform the exercise. Lay back onto the floor an place your hands behind your head interlacing your finger together. Raise you knees upwards towards your chest until they are in an upside down L-shape position in front of you and start the exercise once you have found your balance. Exhale as you crunch your upper body forwards until you feel your abs muscles stretch. 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 whilst maintaining your balance. Inhale as you lower your upper body down back to the starting position in a slow, controlled manner maintaining your leg position and balance. Do not allow any longer than a 1 count before starting the next rep to maintain pressure on the abs muscles.
