Abdominal Strengthening in Curl Up

Description

Lie on your back to start this exercise, which is very similar to a classic abdominal crunch. However, the difference lies in the way you will move. Visualize yourself flexing each vertebra individually. Start with your head: slowly lift it off the floor by tucking your chin towards your chest. Then, without releasing the chin, continue to gradually lift the lower part of your neck and then the upper part of your back off the floor. Try to straighten up one segment at a time, rising as high as possible.
