list_alt Step-by-Step Instructions
Lie flat on your back with your knees bent and your feet flat on the ground, tucked under a bench or heavy object, or anchored by a partner.
Cross your arms over your chest instead of placing them behind your head.
Engaging your abs, lift your upper body all the way up until your torso is fully upright, leading with your chest rather than your elbows.
Pause for a moment at the top, then slowly lower your upper body back down to the starting position with control.
Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
