Starting Position
- lay your back on the ground or a fitness mat
- lift your legs, until they are vertical to the ground
- knees are slightly bent
- the feet are together
- stretch out your arms above your head
Correct Execution
- brace your abs
- lift head and shoulders, your shoulder blades lift off the ground, your lower back remains on the floor
- now try to touch the opposite foot with one hand (target: obliques) or the tiptoes with both hands
- afterwards, lower the upper body slowly, but do not completely rest it on the ground
- go over to the next rep
tips for the workout
- if you only use one leg, the ab exercise becomes easier
- if holding your legs up is too difficult for you, you can lay in front of a wall and lean the heels against it
