How to do it
- Lie on your back with knees bent and feet flat on the floor.
- Place your hands behind your head with elbows flared out.
- Engage your core and lift your torso until your elbows reach over your knees.
- Pause briefly at the top, maintaining tension in the abs.
- Slowly lower your torso back to the starting position.
