Exercise Performance

Lie on your back with your calves and ankles resting on a bench. Both your hip and knee joints should be folded at a 90 degree angle. Rest your hands gently behind your head and look at the ceiling. This is your beginning and ending position. Pull your chest as close as you can to your knees. Keep your eyes focused on the ceiling and your hands loosely held behind your head. Do not pull up with your arms. Do not tuck your neck into your chest.

Variations

Free crunchs

Don't use a bench for this exercise. The range of motion tends to be smaller.
