Bottoms Up

A simple movement to strengthen your abs with no equipment.

This core-focused movement challenges your abdominal control by combining hip flexion with pelvic lift.

Instructions

  1. Lie flat on your back with your legs extended and arms by your sides.
  2. Tuck your knees toward your chest by flexing the hips and knees.
  3. Extend your legs vertically so they point straight up.
  4. Contract your lower abs to rotate and lift your pelvis off the floor, raising your glutes slightly.
  5. Pause briefly, then slowly return to the starting position.
