Floor crunches
The move: Lie flat on your back with your knees bent and feet on the floor. Hold your hands behind your head and roll your upper torso forward as your knees come up toward your elbows. At the top of the crunch, consciously squeeze the abdominal muscles before slowly lowering back for the next crunch. Exhale as you come up, inhale on the way back down. Sets: 2 sets of 5, 10 or 15; work your way up to 30. The Sly Report: Crunches are much more effective than regular sit-ups because they specifically target your upper abdominal muscles rather than your hip muscles. If you're not used to them, they can cause soreness a day or two later, but it's a "cool" soreness. A badge of honor. Tip: If floor crunches are too tough in the beginning, start on the gym's crunch machine. Three more amazing ab moves that helped Sly get into top Rocky shape.
