Make every rep count.
- 01
Lie on your back with knees bent and feet planted hip-width apart. Cross your arms over your chest and keep your neck neutral (eyes toward the ceiling).
- 02
Take a breath in. Exhale, brace your core, and curl up by lifting your shoulders and upper back off the floor—avoid yanking with your neck or using momentum.
- 03
Continue until your torso is near perpendicular to the floor, keeping your feet down and your lower back controlled.
- 04
Lower slowly back to the start with control, letting your shoulders touch down before the next rep.
- 05
Repeat for the prescribed reps.
