2. Raise your hips off the mat and roll your spine up off the mat, and hold. Tip: Round your back by rolling your hips and pelvis toward your chest, instead of simply raising your legs. This will help isolate the abs, instead of working your hip flexors.

3. With control, return to the starting position by lowering your spine and hips. Tip: Do not stress your lower back. You should feel the burn in your lower abs, not your lower back.
