The Abdominal
Crunch is an exercise for
the abdominal muscles in the midsection
of the body. That Crunch is often used but
rarely executed to it's fullest potential.
Here are some pointers on how to revitalize
your abdominal workout.
- Keep your
head and neck in line with the spine.
The best way to remember this is to not
let your chin touch your chest. This error
takes the focus off the abs and can strain
your neck.
- To maximize
the feeling on the abs, try and reach
straight up in the air as though trying
to push your palms up onto the ceiling.
This will make your abdominals work harder.

- Never anchor
your feet (e.g. have someone hold them
down or wedge them under something) when
you're doing any kind of ab work. This
will activate muscles known as the hip
flexors (muscles that function to bring
the thigh towards the midsection). You
want to isolate your abdominals and minimize
hip flexor involvement for best results.
- Don't
hold your breath when doing ab work. The
abdominals play an important role in breathing.
By limiting breathing, you will be limiting
the work on your abs. The best way to
breathe is to exhale on the way up and
inhale on the way down.
- To make
the crunch easier, keep your arms flat
on the floor. This reduces the amount
of weight you must move.
