curl-up
Ball up snugly
A curl-up is an abdominal exercise where you lie on your back and raise your head and shoulders toward your knees, then lower back down.
It's gentler than a full sit-up, with less range of motion: Do three sets of twenty curl-ups.
The term appears in fitness testing and physical education.
