Instructions
1. Start by lying on your back with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor, hip-width apart.
2. Extend your arms straight behind your head, keeping them clasped and next to your ears throughout the exercise.
3. Engage your core muscles by pulling your belly button towards your spine.
4. Slowly curl your upper body off the floor, lifting your shoulder blades without straining your neck. Your arms should remain straight and aligned with your head.
5. Raise yourself up until your upper back is off the ground but ensure that your lower back remains in contact with the floor to maintain proper form and prevent injury.
6. Pause for a second at the top of the motion, contracting your abdominal muscles.
7. Slowly lower yourself back down to the starting position to complete one repetition.
8. Perform the desired number of repetitions and sets, ensuring to maintain proper form throughout.
Remember to keep the movement controlled and avoid using momentum to lift your upper body. Exhale as you crunch upwards and inhale as you return to the starting position.
