Weighted Straight-Leg Crunch

  • Hold one or both dumbbells in your hands.
  • Lie flat on your back with your arms fully extended behind you, holding the dumbbell(s) in your hands.
  • Raise your legs straight up in the air so that the flats of your feet are facing the ceiling.
  • Keeping your arms straight (locked at the elbows), bring the dumbbell(s) up over your chest and lift your shoulders off the mat, pushing the dumbbell(s) toward your feet.
  • Return to starting position by lowering your upper body all the way back to the floor and keeping your arms locked in the straight position. Your feet should remain lifted in the air. Let the dumbbell(s) touch the floor. That counts as one rep.
  • Complete 10 crunches.
