Sit sideways on a bench and grasp the edges of the bench for support. With bent knees, raise your legs slightly and then straighten them. Lean backward as balance requires. Next, lift your knees up towards your chest while keeping your lower legs pointed downward and flexing (tightening) your abs as hard as you can. Keep continuous tension on the abs throughout this movement. This works both upper and lower abdominal muscles.

Lie face up on floor, knees bent with feet on floor and neck straight. Grasp medicine ball and hold at chest level. In a controlled motion, keeping neck straight, curl upper body up. From this position, twist your torso to the left. Contract abdominals fully without compromising form. While maintaining the controlled motion, return to starting position and continue through to your right side. Focus on really twisting your torso and feeling the contraction when twisiting your torso.
