Abdominal Hold

(You'll need a chair)

Sit tall on the edge of a chair with your hands on the edge of the seat and your fingers pointing to your knees.
Tighten your abs and bring your toes 2 to 4 inches off the floor and lift your body off of the chair. Hold for as long as you can, shoot for 5 to 10 seconds.
Lower yourself down and repeat. Continue this exercise for 1 minute.
Beginners can keep one foot on the ground for additional support.

Next: Navel Crunch

thanks for this! I have arthritis in my neck that keeps me from doing the crunches. This is exactly what I need. Now, may I have another article that explains to me why some people seem to walk the walk, while others only talk the talk? I would like to move from the first group to the second group.... :)
