ab boot camp question

Quote:

STARTING POSITION:
Lie on the floor or a flat or decline bench on your side with your knees bent and your arms holding onto either the end of the bench or something behind you.

THE EXERCISE:
Slowly bring your knees toward your chest. Switch to the other side and repeat. Keep the movement short to remove the hip flexors from the motion.

Are you suposed to lift the legs strait to your chest? In the picture it looks like he has his legs angles to where his knees are below his hips and his feet are more elivated. Then on the lift do you pull tword chest with lower abs, o do you pull to the side of your chest focusing on obliques and going up to celing more then up to top of bench? (does that make sense?)

I believe he means to just pull your legs straight to your chest and allow gravity to have its effect on your abs. Whatever angle he has with his legs in the photos, he keeps that same angle as he brings his legs to his chest. You won't have to pull towards the ceiling at all, gravity will have all of the effect on the abs you'll need for this exercise.
