Marie Claire TV: Body Beautiful: Super Flat Abs


Here's another one from Marie Claire on Abs. It's a take on the classic sit-up, but with a variation. Lots of good tips on how to get the technique right.

Specifics & Tips

1. Move legs away from butt, so you almost feel like your big toe is just coming off the floor. That helps you engage your abs and lengthen.
2. Rib-Hip Connection. Imagine you're wearing a corset and it needs to be tightened. Pull your rib cage in and down slowly towards your hips. That way your abdominals are starting to contract.
3. Lengthen as you lift.
