LOWER ABDOMINAL CRUNCH WITH RESISTANCE: 1 MINUTE Begin: Use a theraband or rope to wrap around your ankles (use a knot to tie securely). Bring your legs straight up to a 90 degree angle. Have a partner stand behind you and grasp the end of the theraband/ rope. Place your head in your hands and lift shoulders off the floor. Begin movement by lowering your legs to 45 degree angle. As you do this, your partner will give resistance by pulling slightly but firmly on the end of the theraband/rope. Perform movement slowly. Exhale as your legs descend and inhale to lift them up. Repeat. Perform for 1 minute.

UPPER ABDOMINAL CRUNCH WITH MEDICINE BALL Begin: Sit on the floor with your knees up. Have a partner stand on the edge of your toes while holding a medicine ball. Begin movement by extending your arms. Your partner will toss the ball to you. As you catch the ball, bring it to your chest while lowering to the floor. As you roll down, keep your shoulders off the floor. When you touch the floor, lift up while tossing the ball back to your partner. Repeat. Perform for 1 minute.
