Exercise 4: Upper ab curls

This is a half sit-up. Lie on your back with knees bent and feet on the floor. Place your hands behind your head (more towards the neck) with fingers linked. Don't let the chin touch your chest. Keep your head in a comfortable position. Elbows stay out to the side.

Contract your abdominal muscles and raise your upper body until the shoulders blades come off the floor (elbows remain out to the side, don't let them come forward). Lower down until your head almost touches the floor. Don't let your head and arms rest on the floor. Lift up again just before they do. Exhale as you lift and inhale as you lower. Perform 12-16 slow repetitions.
