This exercise focuses on working your abdominal muscles.

1. Lying on your stomach your forearms should be on the floor pointing straight forward. Your feet should be together and your spine in a neutral position. Hands should be clasped together under the chin.

   

2. To start the exercise, lift your body up straight, resting on your forearms and toes. Hold the position for 10 seconds to start and increase the time as you continue. Keep your stomach firm so that your knees do not drop, and make sure not to raise your butt or let your low back sag. Breathe throughout the exercise. Slowly return to the starting position.
