Reverse Ab Curls - Step by Step Guide to Performing Reverse Ab Curl Workout

Workout Time: 1 minute.

Target Muscles: This targets your lower abdominals- the ones that ensure you don't have a pot belly.

STEP 1: Lie flat on your back, legs outstretched and hands on the floor, palms down.

STEP 2: Push down on palms to keep back neutral. Breathe out as you raise straight legs 6 inches(15 cm) off the floor, bend them, then breathe in as you bring knees to your chest and lift the base of your spine 3 inches (7½cm) off the ground. Don't let your ankles touch the floor.

Tip: Hold your abdominals tight as you raise and lower your legs to protect your back. If your abs are weak you may not be able to lift your straight legs 6 inches off the floor- in which case, start and finish with legs bent and feet flat on the floor.
