How to Perform This Ab Exercise Just For Women:
- Lie on back. Place straight legs as wide as shoulder distance apart with toes pointed.
- Place one arm overhead at 45 degree angle with palm up.
- Place opposite arm inline with your shoulder and palm down! You will use this palm to get up higher.
- Initiate by pressing hard off palm which is flat on ground so you can bring opposite shoulder blade and arm off the ground so it crosses over to meet the opposite foot in the air.
- Once the opposite foot and opposite leg meet 1/2 way, hold 2 seconds and return to original position.
- Squeeze abs when on top and repeat entire exercise on the left 25-50 reps before switching sides.
