ab builder that raises your legs and your torso at the same time
both ends of the trunk move towards each other, so the abs shorten from the
top and the bottom at once rather than one at a time
nothing supports you, so the load is fixed at your bodyweight and the
difficulty sits in the coordination rather than in the stack
Execution
Lie on your back with your legs straight and your arms extended overhead, body
in one long line.
raise your legs and your torso together, reaching for your feet
meet in the middle with your hips flexed and your spine rounded
lower both ends under control back to the floor
keep your legs straight rather than bending to get up
let your body reach full extension at the bottom
The bottom is where the abs are longest, so let your arms and legs stretch out
rather than cutting the rep short. Hold a light weight overhead once bodyweight
gets easy.
