Kick Start Your New Years: Exercise Day Fifteen: Reverse Crunch

Day Fifteen:
Reverse Crunch

 

• Lie on the floor and place hands on the floor or behind the head.
• Bring the knees in towards the chest until they're bent to 90 degrees, with feet together or crossed.
• Contract the abs to curl the hips off the floor, reaching the legs up towards the ceiling.
• Lower and repeat for 1-3 sets of 12-16 reps.
• It's a very small movement, so try to use your abs to lift your hips rather than swinging your legs and creating momentum.

Easy Exercise Tip:

  So, I have a hard time exercising during the day...big surprise!  It turns out that exercise at night is supposed to be more effective in many individuals and, contrary to what some believe, it does not interfere with your sleep!  Good to know...now after I put my kids to bed I think I will do some quick stair walking...just slowly walking up and down the stairs.  I'm having a hard time with my thighs...
