CORE: "Straight Leg Curl Up"

Directions: Perform Dynamic Warm-Up exercises at “beginning” of workout
for maximum benefit and improvement.
Pick a safe level; never be unsafe or exceed your capacity to “control” your body!

1. From supine position stretch arms straight out and up.

2. Slowly "curl up" body towards toes.

3. With control, slowly return body to floor.

Tips: These are harder than they look!  If you can't go up very far just do what you can to engage the core muscles.  Try to keep from straining neck.

• Common mistakes are "throwing" yourself up and then "dropping" back down.  Do them slowly with control or don't do them at all!

*Note: This exercise is intended for "normal healthy" individuals.  If you have an injury, or abnormal pain is present,
see your physician or a certified physical therapist before continuing your exercises.
