Instructions
Preparation
- Lie supine on mat or floor with bench leg and arms pointed
up.
Execution
- Flex waist to raise upper torso from floor. Return until
back of shoulders contact padded incline board. Repeat.
Comments
- Hip may move slightly during exercise. Exercise can be performed
with added resistance if needed by holding weight above. Quadriceps
were not listed under stabilizers since they are not under significant
resistance. Certain individuals may need to keep their neck in
neutral position with space between their chin and sternum. See
