Starting Position
- lay your head and shoulders onto a chair or a gym ball
- if you use the gym ball, you can require the abs even more because of the instability of the ball
- bend the knees until the shanks are vertical to the ground
- your body is in a horizontal line from head to knees
- for more stability, you can stretch out your arms to the sides
Correct Execution

- lift the heels and get your feet on the balls
- hold this position for a short moment
- afterwards, come back to the starting position and repeat
