keep your hands at your sides right next to your butt, but not under.

Wow, I did those with a friend holding his hand about 6 inches about my toes, and a little closer to my head (like a button). I had to hit his hand with my feet in a controlled manner. We both loved that exercise, and it really works your abs well.

Another exercise I enjoyed was: Lying on my back, legs straight and arms at side. Lift legs up to 90 degree angle with ground/body and then have a friend push your feet back down to the ground. Don't let your feet hit the ground, but come close. And repeat. GREAT exercise imo.

Yup that one also. They can hit your legs to the sides and at variou angles also. Keeps you guessing and it is unpredictable = makes you react faster and harder.
