  2. Perform a partial range abdominal crunch, lifting your upper back off the ground and returning to the starting position.
  3. If possible, try to keep your head elevated throughout the exercise to facilitate spinal flexion.
  4. This exercise allows you to work the abdominal muscles while minimizing the work of the psoas iliacus.
