Strengthen your abdominal muscles
Lie on the floor face down supporting yourself on your forearms and your knees
With elbows directly under shoulders lift your stomach off the ground while keeping your back straight
Straighten one leg to the toe and then lower it to the knee, then alternate legs
Keep abs tight and back straight during the entire combination
Start with 2 sets of 10 and work up to at least 3 sets over time
As your abdominals become stronger try straightening both legs to your toes and holding for 10-20 seconds. Increase the time as you get stronger. Take care at all times to keep your back straight, not allowing your lower back to sag downward or your bottom to stick upward.
