Abs on fire after this one

Abs on fire after this one.

With the summer beach season almost upon us, most people want to look decent when they finally remove the top. This exercise will go a long way to helping your abs and making you look pretty damn fit on the beach.

  •  Lie on your back and extend your arms out to the side (or keep your hands behind your head if that’s more comfortable)
  • Lift your knees and feet so they create a 90-degree angle
  • Tighten your abs and exhale as you lift your hips off the floor with control and the knees will move towards the head
  • Important to try keep the knees at a 90-degree angle here. Inhale and slowly lower your legs. Repeat 8-12 times
