Straight Leg Abs 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 and place your hands behind your head interlacing your fingers together. Extend your legs out straight in front of you with ball of your feet touching the floor. Exhale as you crunch your upper body forwards in a controlled manner using your hands to assist you. Do not allow your lower back to raise from the floor. Squeeze your abs muscles inwards and hold the position for a count of 1. Inhale as you lower your upper body back down to the floor in a slow, controlled manner keeping your legs stable and strong. Do not allow any longer than a 1 count before starting the next rep as this will maintain pressure on the abs muscles and increase the overall benefits of the exercise. Repeat this technique for the desired number of reps.
