Straight Ups

Purpose of this exercise: TO STRENGTHEN THE ABDOMINALS and OBLIQUES

You can really feel this exercise. Your hip flexors are used to stabilize yourself.

Technique

1.	Lie flat on your back with your arms at your sides for support. Your legs should be together and straight up.
2.	Lift your legs and hips about 6-8 inches straight up. Be sure to use your abdominal muscles and not your arms. At the top of the motion, contract your ab muscles, pause for a count of 3 and then slowly return to the starting position.

CAUTIONS!!

• Be careful not to rock up on your neck.
