Get in a sit-up position, but instead of placing your feet on the floor, place the bottoms of your feet together and spread your knees apart. With your hands behind your head, tighten your ab muscles and use them to lift your shoulders off the floor. Keeping your abs tight, lower your shoulders to the floor.
