Ab Chop Ups Guide
- On a mat, lie on your back with your knees bent and positioned hip-width apart.
- Bring your arms straight over your head with hands placed palm to palm.
- Crunch up while bringing your hands down to the outside of your knee.
- Come back down to starting position and repeat on the other side.
- Do two sets of 10 reps or the number that may be prescribed.
Trainer’s Tips
- Tighten core/abs while doing the exercise to protect the back.
- As you crunch up wait in position for 2 seconds to ensure that the exercise is more effective. The burn means it is working.
- Ensure floor or ground being worked on is flat enough. It would be better to have an exercise mat.
