12 Repetitions

Steps

Step 1

Lie flat on your back on an exercise mat with hands by your sides and palms facing the floor.
Before beginning, “pull” your belly button tight to your spine and draw your abs in.

Step 2

Push your lower back towards the floor.
Extend your legs fully out with a slight bend in your knees.
Lift your heels 6-12 inches off the floor. If you are new to exercising, start with your legs higher and as you become more advanced, you will start lifting your legs closer to the ground.

Step 3

Start making small, rapid up and down scissor-like motions with your legs. The key is to focus on having your midsection do all the work and to keep your abs constantly contracted throughout the exercise.
Repeat for the recommended number of repetitions.
