Knees-to-Chest - Work Those Abs!

Knees to chest - abdominal exercise in the water.

Knees to chest - abdominal exercise in the water.

(c) Anne Asher 2007
And onto the abs we go. To work your abdominal muscles bring both knees up to your chest and down again.

To do a more advanced version of this exercise, straighten your legs, and extend your body out into one long line, as though you were floating on the water.

The knees-to-chest exercise should be done 10-15 times.
