Lie on the floor on your back with the palms of your hands flat on the floor at your sides. Bend your legs to 90 degrees and bring your legs up so that your thighs are perpendicular to the floor.

Exercise Comments

Reverse crunches are great when it comes to abs workout exercise. The video is a great demonstration of the reverse crunch exercise.

I've seen a comprehensive abs exercises that work the entire Lower Rectus Abdominis even more.
