This simple exercise addresses both the top and bottom of your abs.
Technically the exercise is known as the V Rais/Knee Tuck and this is how it is performed:
1. Lie face-up on the floor with your upper and lower back firmly rooted to the ground and your knees bent at 90 degrees so that your feet are flat on the floor and your arms lie beside your body.
2. Slowly extend your legs so that they are raised from the ground, locked at the knees and at approximately 45 degrees to the level surface. At the same time raise your body to mirror the action of your legs. Pull arms from the floor so they are directly in front of you.
3. Hold this position and draw your left knee to your chest and then extend fully back out. Repeat the motion with your right leg and continue the motion with alternative legs.
This exercise when done slowly and purposefully provides excellent targeting for the upper and lower abdominal muscles. Here’s an illustration compliments of Men’s health magazine to show you exactly how it’s done:
