This exercise does exactly what it says on the tin. Using the wall to support your legs and keeping your pelvis in its basic position on the floor curl your body to tone & perfect your tummy.

Lie with your back on the floor close enough to the wall to put your legs up. Put your feet up against the wall slightly higher than your knees. Make sure you're comfy and relaxed. Now bring the palm of your hands together, arms outstretched pointing away from the wall.

Take a deep breath and start to flatten your tummy.

Now breathe out as you lift your head and upper torso. Keep lifting until you feel your abs burn! Make sure your shoulders stay in line with your neck and head by keeping your arms by your ears.

Go back to your starting position and do it all over again. Repeat the exercise four times Over time you should look to build up to doing 8–16 reps every time you do this exercise.

Nicki's Tip: This is a toughie so start with a few reps and build up slowly.
