Postural Guidelines for Abdomen Exercises
It is always important to exercise in the proper postural, as this would increase the effectiveness of your workout and also would be less likely to get injured. So, the correct posture should be maintained at all times during the abdominal exercises. Below I’ve jotted some guidelines to improve your posture.

1. Lay down on your head parallel to the ground and centered over your shoulders.

2. Bring your chest up.

3. As you bring your chest up, your shoulders must relax and not go up. Thus, relax your shoulders down and back.

4. Tighten your abs by pulling your belly button to your spine.

5. Align your knees with your second and third toes.

6. Keep your knees soft, and unlocked. There must always be a slight bend in them.

7. Lay with your feet spaced (usually hip width).

Muscles targeted
Upper abdominal

Starting position
Lie on the floor with your legs bent and your feet flat on the floor. Do not pull from your arms; keep your focus on your abdominal muscles. Rest your hands on the back of your head or rest them on your thighs. Keep in mind; this is an abdominal crunch not a sit up.

Movement
Lift your head off the floor and pull in your tummy muscles as you curl your upper body forwards. Don't pull on your neck when you come up. Your lower back should remain flat on the ground at all times. Under control, lower your weight, stop just before your shoulders touch the ground and reverse the motion back up.
Do this 5 times. You can gradually build up to 20 with practice.
