Lean Backs

If you are a client of mine, well you know "Lean Backs" are one of my favorite exercises. Some call these modified sit-ups; some call them cheating sit-ups, but I call them lean backs. No equipment is needed, all you have to do from a seated position is simply lean back. Bend knees and dig heels into ground and lower body towards ground (without going to ground) and sit forward (without coming all the way up). The key to this exercise is abdominals are staying contracted the entire time (unlike a regular sit-up) To make this exercise more challenging sit on a stability ball (without moving the ball) OR hold a weight for added resistance.
