Tutorial

  1. 1
    Lie on your back on the floor and stretch your legs out in front of you. Place your arms on the floor at the side of your body.
  2. 2
    Keep your legs stretched and lift them approx. 30° off the floor. This is your starting position.
  3. 3
    Spread your legs as wide apart as possible in the air and then bring them back together.
  4. 4
    One repetition has now been completed. Repeat this process for the specified number of repetitions.
Tip
Your upper back is in contact with the floor throughout the exercise. Your abdominal muscles are tensed throughout the exercise and your head is not resting on the floor. Try to work only from your abdominal muscles and don't put too much strain on your legs.
