Lie on your back, with fingers laced behind your head, knees bent together and twisted to one side, resting on floor. Lift your upper body up, keeping your chin a tennis ball's distance from your chest. Focus on pulling your belly button toward your spine. Work up to 25 lifts; twist legs to other side and repeat.
Advanced: Keep bent legs 1 inch off the ground, and lift your upper and lower body each time.
