    Inverted Sit-Up

    • Hanging from a bar with gravity boots or by the strength of the feet or knees hooked over the bar, gain full extension with fingers reaching toward the floor. Slowly raise the upper torso, performing a sit-up move, extending the fingers toward the feet. Perform slowly, counting to five for the upward move, then five for the downward move back to the original position. Advanced users may cross their arms behind the neck and reach elbows toward the feet.

    Inverted Squat

    • With feet hooked over a bar or using boots, extend the body in a straight line. Place hands on the back of the thighs. Slowly bend the knees, pulling the body upward with the strength of the thighs in an inverted version of a squat. Perform three to five of these moves. If you can't touch the buttocks to the back of the heels, go as far as you can, then slowly lower yourself to the starting position.

    Side Twists

    • Hanging in the upside-down position, cross the arms behind the head, much the same way you would while performing a traditional sit up on the floor. Slowly lift the torso at the waist, twisting to one side and reaching the left elbow to the right hip. Hold for three seconds, then lower. Repeat the process on the other side, reaching the right elbow to the left hip, holding, and then slowly releasing. Do this exercise three to five times on each side.
