This exercise works your abs and core muscles. Unlike most ab exercises, it requires weights. You can either use a dumbbell or a kettlebell. The greater the load, the harder your abs will work. This movement can be done as part of your ab training routine, or along with other exercises. To prevent injuries, watch your form and start slowly to build up your strength.
How to do it
- 1Sit on your back with your knees bent. Grab a dumbbell with both hands and raise your arms over the chest.
- 2Extend your arms while raising your torso and upper body. Use your abs to control the movement.
- 3Return to the starting position and repeat.
⚠️ Common mistakes
- Using too much weight
- Slouching your back
Now you know how it is done. In the app it joins the other exercises and becomes a multi-week plan.
