Reps: 10 reps, alternating sides
- Lie on your back with a neutral spine and your hips and knees at right angles with your palms pressed into your thighs just above your knees.
- Pull your abs to your spine keeping your ribs and pelvis still as you lengthen your right arm and leg away from each other. While you are aiming to have your leg parallel to the floor, only go as low as you can while keeping your lower back from arching.
- Return to the starting position, and repeat on the left side to complete one rep.
Don't let the silly name fool you, this move is hard but the perfect challenge for a beginner. It's a stability exercise that trains your abs to work while your arms and legs move. Slow and steady wins the race here; you have to actively engage your abs and monitor your stability. Get your form down and you will be ready for more ab exercises.
