Lie on bench or mat, supine positioned, flex legs and hips. Slightly lift head and thoracic spine. Raise legs and let thighs point away. Raise torse by flexing spine as far as you can. Simultaneously pull knees towards chest. Exhale! Return to starting position, inhale and repeat. Alway keep lumbar spine on the floor. Use a weight plate behind head or on chest to increase workload. Advanced athletes can hold a dumbbell between ankles.
