Food and Fitness:

abdominal hold

An exercise to test and develop your ability to sustain contractions of abdominal muscles.

â–ªLie on your back with your knees bent and your lower back pressed gently into the floor. Place your hands in a relaxed position on the top of your thighs. Keep your lower back flat on the floor and slowly curl up to touch your knees with your hands; hold the position for as long as possible: 35 to 60 seconds indicates a good level of endurance. Beginners should not attempt to hold for more than 60 seconds.
