1. Make sure to do it on flat, level ground.

2. Do the movement slowly.

Count to 1 seconds as you contract your abs, hold your position just before your chest touches your knees - about 8 inches distance between them - and hold that position for around 2 secs, before lowering your upper torso down. Also, make sure the downward movement is also controlled - don't just drop back on the floor.

The idea is to keep your abs under a constant, controlled tension during the whole exercise, since "bouncing" up and dropping down is cheating.

3.he pain you feel in your abs should be akin to a burning sensation if you're doing the exercise properly. If it feels more like a tear, you might want to stop.

4. Don't forget to stretch
