MOVE OF THE WEEK: Seated bench U for abs

Ok, I admit, I’m not sure what is this exercise really called. Anyone who knows? Anyway, it is great for your abs! It works your rectus abdominus (your six-pack) as well as your external obliques (the side of your abs). 

Sit on a bench, or anything high enough, place your hands by your side on the edge of the bench to support your balance. Now lift straightened legs with your toes pointed high until you form a V shape. Then move them down to the left, until just above the ground without touching it. Now move them back up to the middle and down to right, again almost to the ground without putting them down. The move you should be making is to copy U but upside down. Do this in 3 sets, each for one minute. Once you get strong enough you can do it fast and count how many reps you can finish within one minute. Make sure you are moving your legs in nice rounded upside-down U shape and that your hands are only to support your balance not to hold your weight.
