Leg Climbs

Leg climbs target mainly your center six-pack abdominal muscles, but they also increase your flexibility. Start out by laying on your back. Bring one leg off the ground about 45 degrees. Use your arms and hands to literally climb up your leg and touch your toe (if you can not touch your toe just get as close as possible). After touching your toe climb back down until your shoulder blades just touch your workout surface but your not fully laying flat. This will ensure constant contraction on your abdominals during the entire workout. Next bring your other leg up in the air about 45 degrees, at the same time lower the first leg. Be sure that one leg is always off the ground. Repeat the climb on the other leg to complete one repetition. Technically you can use as many hand grabs as you want from both arms to do the climb. Personally, I use one hand grab to climb and the other hand to touch the toe. On the next repetition I then switch hands. Breath out and you climb up and breath in as you climb back down.
