How to do Ab Rollups
Lying flat on your back, extend your arms overhead. Engage your core and slowly sit up, using your abs, rolling through each vertebra. As you reach the top, extend your arms as far as you can. Slowly roll back down to the starting position.
Common mistakes
Using momentum instead of core strength. Jerking or making sudden movements. Lifting the feet off the floor.
Breathing
Inhale when lying down; exhale as you sit up. Inhale at the top of the movement; exhale while rolling back down.
