McGill Curl Up - a Spine Sparing Abdominal Exercise

Dr. Sam Schroetke of Physical Therapy & Hand Clinic of Hillsboro demonstrates the McGill Curl-Up, which is a great exercise for training the abdominal muscles because it tends to be safe for people who may have back issues related to bending and who cannot perform a tradition sit-up.
Hold the up position for 6-10 seconds and repeat 10-15 times.
Check with your physical therapist or physician before performing this exercise to make sure that it is appropriate for you.
