Lie flat on your back with your knees bent and feet flat on the ground. Hold a weight plate or dumbbell on your chest. Engage your abs and lift your upper body off the ground, curling forward until your shoulder blades are off the ground. 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.
