Exercise Description

This is a modified version of a roll-up, which is an abdominal exercise. In this version your knees are elevated while your feet remain in the air. Another difference between this and the original roll-up is that your arms start off at your sides, not behind your head.

Muscle Groups: Abs

Step Number 1

Start with your hands at your sides, your knees raised while feet remain on the ground. Your back and upper body should be flat on the ground.

Step Number 2

Inhale while you are lying on the ground with your back flat. Exhale as you raise your upper body and extend your arms toward your feet. Make sure to keep your chin tucked in to your chest.

Step Number 3

Sit up nice and tall with spine erect and inhale at the top (seated) position.

Step Number 4

Exhale as you lower your upper body back towards the mat. Once again make sure to keep your chin tucked in to your chest.

Step Number 5

Finish in the starting position with your hands at your sides, knees raised with feet remaining on the ground and the back and upper body flat on the ground.
