Reverse Curl-Up

The reverse curl-up is a body-weight exercise that strengthens core and lower abdominal region while increasing stability and balance throughout your spine.

Instructions

  1. 722_A
    Lie on your back with your legs bent, feet flat on the floor. Place your palms face down on the floor for support.
  2. Reverse Curl-Up
    Tighten your abs to lift your hips off the floor, driving your feet toward the ceiling. Pause at the top for a moment before returning to the starting position.

Trainer’s Tips

  • Be sure to curl your hips up far enough off the floor during the exercise.
  • Keep your palms on the ground for a stable base of support.
  • Avoid bending your knees excessively. Instead, maintain a soft bend in the knees.
