Keep your feet on the floor when doing this exercise to avoid excessive pressure on the lower back.
Smoothly lift your head and shoulders only 4 to 6 inches off the floor, holding in the upper phase for 2 – 3 seconds prior to slowly returning back down to repeat again for desired reps.
Always look straight down at the floor and with all exercise's stop if you feel any pain.
