Dumbbell Straight Arm Crunch
Expert Advice

- Lie on your back with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor.
- Hold a dumbbell with both hands straight above your chest.
- Contract your abs to lift your shoulders off the floor, keeping your arms straight.
- Pause at the top of the contraction, then slowly lower back down to the starting position.
