How to do it
On your back with knees bent, you curl your hips off the floor and bring your knees toward your chest. The motion starts from the pelvis instead of the shoulders, so it’s a neck-friendly crunch variation that targets the lower part of the movement.
- Start with knees bent at about ninety degrees above your hips.
- Roll your hips up off the floor using your abs, not a leg swing.
- Lower your hips slowly one vertebra at a time.
- Keep your head and shoulders relaxed on the floor.
