Benefits:

If you are looking to target your entire abs than body folds are right for you. By lifting your shoulders and feet off the ground you are able to feel it all the way from your lower to upper abs. Body folds are also great because you are in constant tension by never letting your feet touch the ground and also working through a full range of motion. This exercise will also help to strengthen your lower back since your entire body is off the ground except for you butt. Hit about 20-25 of these and you will be burning up!

How To:

1) Begin sitting up with your knees pulled towards your chest

2) Simultaneously lower your upper body towards the ground while pressing your legs straight forward until they are extended

**TRAINERS TIPS** At the end of the movement you should have your upper body a few inches off the ground and your legs just a few inches off the ground
