This is the second exercise in our 3-part Extreme Flat Abs workout. For best results, start with the first flat abs exercise!


2. Reverse Trunk Twist

Starting Position:
-- Lie on the floor with your back relaxed and your arms out to the sides forming a "T" with your body.
-- Extend your legs straight up in the air so your hips form a 90-degree angle with a slight bend in your knees.

Movement:
-- Contracting the abdominal and oblique muscles, lower your legs toward one side, keeping your feet together and your back on the floor. Stop at the limits of the strength of your abdominal and oblique muscles.
-- This may start out as a very small range of motion and gradually increase as you get stronger.
-- Slowly return to the starting position.
-- After completing the set on the one side, repeat on the other side.

Key Points:
-- Exhale while lowering your legs.
-- Inhale while returning to the starting position.

After completing, immediately go to the next exercise.
