PREPARATION:

1. Lie down on your back, back pressed tightly to floor where it will stay during the entire
exercise.

2. Knees draw in toward chest, both hands in back of head - don't pull on your neck.

3. Lift shoulders and hold.
 

EXECUTION:

1. Very slowly extend left leg to parallel to floor and hold 10 seconds.

2. Very slowly reverse the legs. You may find yourself panting but that is normal. This is hard
work done properly (keeping the back on the floor) but it is extremely effective.

3. Do 5 each leg.

This is a variation of an old exercise except that the old version was done very fast with a  torso
twist. This one is done in slow-motion with no torso twisting, and the major focus is keeping the
back flattened so that the abdominals have to work hard to do so.
