Take your hands behind your head, bring your [inaudible] elbows in to start and begin to round back down. It's a lot more challenging without the arms. So if this is too hard, reach for those sites.

Rest and nice deep breath in. Peel one vertebra off the mat. If your feet move, that means you need to hold onto your thighs and you'll get much better workout. You'll get deeper if you're not forcing and then sit up tall and begin to round back down.
