Instructions
- Lie on your back with knees bent and feet flat on the floor, or hooked under a resistance band.
- Cross your arms over your chest or place hands behind your head.
- Press your heels into the ground while performing a sit-up to activate your hamstrings.
- This reduces hip flexor involvement and isolates the abdominals.
- Lower back down with control and repeat.
