Half Curl


The half curl works the abdominal muscles and also the hip flexers. Start out laying on your back with your legs down in front of you. Bend your knees and bring them up until your feet are flat on the ground in front of you. Bring your upper body up about 45 degrees from the floor. Curve your lower back like your slouching. Put your arms straight out in front of you and keep them there for the whole exercise. Use your abdominal muscles to bring your upper body up 90 degrees from the floor. As you move your upper body up to 90 degrees, your lower back should straighten out so that when you reach the top your upper and lower back are straight. Return back to the starting position to complete a full repetition. Breath out as you come up and breath in as you go back down to.
