Tips
Tips: Be sure to brace the abs at all times and keep a slight bend in the knees. This will help stabilize the spine while performing the curls. For more of a challenge, you can slightly rotate your upper body and bring board out to the side during the concentric part of the exercise to initiate more oblique engagement.
