Instructions:
- 1Lie down on your back with knees bent, feet flat on the ground, holding the weighted plate on your chest
- 2Use your abs to crunch up, lifting your shoulder blades off the ground
- 3Hold for a second at the top then slowly lower back to the start position
- 4Make sure to keep tension on the abs throughout
- 5Do not pull your neck, make sure the strain is on the abs, not the neck
Tips:
- Don't rush the movement, go slow for maximum muscle activation
- Exhale on your way up and inhale on your way down
- Keep the abs engaged throughout the movement
- Don't use your hands or arms to assist the lift, focus on lifting with your core
