This will work all the muscles in your midsection in one exercise.Keeping your torso straight and stiff, start the sit-up by tightening your lower abs. As you continue up, imagine trying to push your face up against the ceiling (think up, not around).When you reach about 25 to 30 degrees above horizontal, hold for a second and squeeze hard. Keep your back in contact with the towel at all times and always maintain tension in the abs. The difficulty of this exercise depends on where you hold your hands. The hardest position is above your head at arms-length, then beside your head, then across your chest, then straight down between your legs or at your sides. Start with the easiest first then progress to the other positions as you get stronger.
