Knees Up!

Ready to engage the abs? You don't need a mat to do it. Place your hands on the armrest and lift your knees up slowly while you exhale — pulling your navel to your spine of course. Try to scoot a little bit away from the back of the chair and keep your torso still as you lift your legs. If you are worried about your back, do it one leg at a time. Do this motion about 15 times.
