Levitation Crunch

For this top down movement, we’re trying to move the upper torso without moving the lower torso. Start lying on the ground with feet flat on the floor and crossed arms above your head with hands behind head. Lift upper body up and clear your shoulder blades off the ground and then hold and pause at the top for a one or two count. Try to make the upper abs work and hold that contraction for 10 good quality reps.
