Crunch
Performing the: A Step-by-Step Tutorial Crunch
- Place your hands behind your head lightly, making sure not to pull on your neck, or cross them over your chest.
- Inhale deeply, then as you exhale, engage your abdominal muscles by pulling your belly button towards your spine, and lift your upper body (head, neck, and shoulders) off the floor towards your knees, maintaining a constant tension on your abs.
- Hold the crunch position for a moment, feeling the contraction in your abs, then slowly lower yourself back down to the starting position while inhaling.
- Repeat this process for your desired number of repetitions, ensuring that you maintain good form throughout to avoid straining your neck or back.
