Please read our guidelines section before attempting any of our stretching exercises.
EQUIPMENT NEEDED – None!!!
You can find some very useful information about the abdominal muscles here.
Technique – Start by laying face down on the floor and extend your legs back straight with only the balls of your feet touching the floor. Place your hands flat onto the floor in a parallel position. When ready press you hands into the floor and raise your upper torso allowing your lower back to arch. Hold your lower body in a strong position allowing only your upper body to move. At this point you should be able to feel your abdominal muscles stretch. Hold this position for a count of 5. Lower you upper body back down to relieve the pressure on your abs muscles. Repeat this technique until you abs muscles are sufficiently stretched.
