HANDS TO KNEES 

This is a suitable abdominal exercise for beginners. Remember, if you're a beginner you should read the notes on correct abdominal technique.

keep the movement smooth and under controlRest your hands on your thighs, and slowly slide the hands along your leg, up towards your knees.

Control the movement on the way down, remembering the slower you work, the harder the exercise.

Keep your chin off your chest, and if your neck aches, support your head with one hand.

Concentrate on controlled smaller movements, aiming to feel your abs contracting rather than using momentum to force into the movement.
