Exercise 5

Slant Board Sit-Ups
(3 sets of 25)

How to: Place your feet under the stabilizer, knees bent, with the slant board at its lowest incline. keeping your arms straight in front of you, sit up, touching your fingers to your toes. Don’t lower yourself to a resting position on the board. Your shoulders should not touch the board, just your back.

This procedure will keep constant tension on the abdominals. They should be contracted throughout the entire 25 sit-ups. Again, adjust the elevation of the slant board until you can do 3 sets of 25 at the highest level of elevation. Safety hint: Don’t keep your hands behind your head. As with all sit-ups, such technique can be potentially damaging to your neck.
