your abdominals do not lift your legs.. your hip flexors do. think about the origin and insertion of the abdominals as well as their function. this exercise engages ur abs but it is not an ab exercise.... common mistake.

I was watching the video, and all the sudden shes like "you can turn to the side and do it" and i was like WTF ?
-
make sure to keep your lower back firm against the pad... but also you can turn to the side, riiiight. I could see immediately that its not good for the back

@mrtasteyboy Yeah, a rule I tend to follow is that if you're able to do more than 10, you aren't using enough weight.
An even more effective workout is to hang off of a pull-up bar, and do V-ups-- it's the same motion as the straight legged version of this, but you continue bringing your legs up until they reach the bar.
how considerate shes doing sign language as well

If you want an "awesome six-pack", lowering your overall bf% is far more important than working out your abs. That isn't to say core strength isn't important, though. I like to do these whilst keeping my legs straight, up into a pike position.

@pinkninjaofdoom I agree lowering overall bodyfat is key, as is improving overall fitness, strength and ability :) Straight legs? Wow...thats great :) Keep up the good work....thanks for watching :) Be well. Alycia

@EmpowerYourBody word to that. i see way too many overweight people sweating their butts off at the gym doing ab exercises. not that it isn't a good thing, but it's just not very productive. i like to do the same pike position lifts but while holding a dumb-bell in between my feet. try those once the regular ones get too easy for ya!
