How to perform it

Lie flat on your back with your knees bent and feet flat on the ground. Cross your arms over your chest. Engaging your abs, lift your upper body off the ground towards your knees. Pause for a moment at the top, then slowly lower your upper body back down to the starting position. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
