Scissor Crunch
Lie down on your back with your arms stretched out behind your head (along the ground) and your legs together and flat on the floor.
Raise your legs so that they are straight and off the ground. To get into this position it is safest to bend your legs bringing your knees in towards you and then to push them vertically out straight in the air and lower them until you feel a small pull in your stomach. If you feel it in your lower back then your legs are too low and you need to raise them higher until you only feel it in your stomach.
Raise your left leg and your right arm at the same time (keeping them straight) until they meet in the middle. When they do meet your left hip and right shoulder blade should be off the ground. Lower your arm and leg slowly back down to the starting position. Now repeat for your right leg and your left arm.
