Flat Stomach Exercise: Reverse Crunch

Now it's time for another effective ab crunch: The reverse Crunch.

1. Lie down on your back and place your hands facedown alongside your body.
2. Bring your knees in towards your chest until they're bent at a 90 degree angle, keeping your feet crossed.

3. Raise your hips slowly off the floor, about 2 inches, and stretch your legs up towards the ceiling.

4. Try to hold this position for 3 seconds and crunch your abdominal muscles.
Note: Your head and shoulders should remain on the floor.

4. Slowly lower and repeat for 12-16 reps.

Tip: It's a small movement, so try to use your abs to lift your hips rather than swinging your legs and creating momentum.
