His main secret was the number of repetitions he did. It took a LOT of stamina and strength, not to mention the dedication he put into getting his body perfect. -Lie on your back and place your hands behind your head. While bending your knees, keep your feet firmly on the floor. Then lift your upper body up, trying to touch your chest to your knees, then slowly return to the starting position. For Bruce Lee sit ups, you will need a sit up bench or a fitness board for abs. -Lie on the floor with your hands at your sides. If you are using a flat bench, lie on it and hold onto the sides of the bench. Then, as the name of the exercise suggests, raise your legs straight up towards the ceiling. Hold this position for a moment, then lower your legs back down. -You will need a light weightlifting bar or long stick for this exercise. Take the bar and place it at shoulder level behind your neck. Hold both ends of the bar steady and lean your upper body forward. Ideally, you should be standing at a 90 degree angle. Now, twist your upper body to the right, touching your right foot to the left end of the bar. -Bruce Lee’s advanced version of this exercise goes like this: hang from a chin-up bar, straightening your arms to support your body. Bend your knees and use your lower abs to pull them up to your chest, or at least as high as you can. -Hold a barbell in each hand and stand up straight, feet shoulder-width apart. Keep your hands slightly parallel to your hips. Bend your upper body to the right until you feel a stretch in your side muscles. Hold this position for a second or two and return to center. Then, repeat the movement to the left. -Lee's main focus is the number of repetitions for each exercise. He does 4 sets of 50 repetitions, 200 for one exercise and 1,000 for all five exercises. The key to well-shaped abs is not to overwork them, but rather, to let them develop naturally. Finally, end each ab workout with a set of static muscle contractions.
