STRAIGHT-LEG CRUNCH (UPPER ABS)

Start: Lie faceup on the floor with your legs extended in the air, perpendicular to your upper body. Extend your arms toward your feet. MOVEMENT: Contract your abs to lift your shoulders off the floor as you reach with your hands toward your feet. Reverse the motion, but don't return all the way to the floor; stop just short and begin your next rep.
