Seated Lean Backs / Chair Crunches
- Seat yourself comfortably at the edge of a solid chair, with your back straight and unsupported. Keep your feet planted about hip-width apart
- With your arms crossed on your chest and hands flat on your shoulders (like Dracula) , find a stable comfort point with your glutes. This is the starting position
- When ready, inhale and using your core for control, gently lean backward until your upper back comes into very light contact with the back of the chair
- Exhale and contract your core to bring your body back up to the starting position
