PERFECT PIKE: A complete circle

This is a popular abdominal exercise on the chair that a lot of folks like to do because they feel like it is challenging but when they are cued to do it with proper form they are amazed at how difficult it really is.  The springs on the chair only act to challenge your own stability but a lot of people use their kinetic energy to spring up with momentum.  When you keep the angle of the arm to the shoulder fixed you are forced to use the abdominals as the sole movers of the spine to bring your body up.  The bioenergetic body is making a complete circle from head to feet completed only by the resistance of the springs.
