Don't let the sweet name fool you, this is a tough ab exercise. It works all four layers of the abdominal muscles, to create a flat belly and a sculpted abs. Lifting the feet toward the hands as you perform the double crunch ensures that the lower part of the abs engage to battle the pooch.
- Lie on your back with your knees open and the soles of your feet together (in a butterfly position). Lengthen your arms overhead so they are resting on the floor.
- Exhale and bring your hands and knees toward each other performing a full-body crunch. Your shoulder blades should be off the mat as you perform a small reverse crunch lifting your pelvis a bit off the mat. Hold this position for a moment and really feel your abs squeezing.
- Slowly lower your arms and feet back to starting position to complete one rep. Focus on your low back staying in contact with the mat as you lower your feet.
- Do 15 reps to complete a set. Do two to three sets.
