Abs Exercise #23: Exercise Tubing Pull

The tubing pull exercise is ranked in the San Diego State University abdominal exercise study and is a good exercise for focusing on the upper abdominals.

You will need some exercise tubing to perform this exercise. You may be able to find the tubing at your local gym, if not you can purchase it here from Amazon so that you can take your own or use it at home.

Here is the proper way to perform the exercise tubing pull:

1. Lay down on your back on an exercise mat or the floor.
2. Secure the exercise tubing behind your head at about 2-3 feet above the floor level.
3. Bend your knees at 45 degrees at bring your hands behind our head to grab hold of the exercise tubing.
4. Keep your elbows level with your head as you crunch up by bringing you chin forward and lifting your shoulders off the floor.
5. Keep your stomach muscles contracted as you do this and then return to the starting position.
6. Aim to do 3 sets of 10-15 reps.

Things to remember when doing the exercise tubing pull:

• To make the exercise harder move forward away from the tubing to add more resistance.
