    Brace your core and flex at your waist while driving your elbows to your thighs. Pause, and slowly return to starting position.

Trainer’s Tips

  • Avoid cutting the exercise short. Be sure to come to full extension at the top of the movement.
  • Focus on bracing and contracting your abdominals the entire time.
  • Don't allow your lower back to overarch at the top of the exercise.
