Raising and lowering the upper body with raised legs in a supine position (trunk bend) ► feet elevated crunch

Individual work

Lying on your back, legs bent on the floor, exercise ball with arms outstretched in front of you (ball centre at eye level), raise your upper body slightly and lower it back to the starting position (shoulder blades off the floor).

Attention:
Do not lower your upper body completely and do not raise it too far (constant tension), head in a neutral position (no double chin).

Lighten:
Lower the upper body less (and lower it completely in between).

Harden:
Increase the angle in the shoulder joint (move the ball slightly further back).

Variant:
Legs bent in a high position.
