Exercise Description

The ab crunch exercise builds stronger abs and better core stability. It targets your rectus abdominis to create that defined six-pack look.

How To

1. Lie on your back with knees bent and feet flat on the floor 2. Place hands behind your head or crossed over your chest 3. Engage your abs and slowly lift your shoulders off the ground during the ab crunch 4. Hold the contraction for one second at the top 5. Lower back down with control and repeat the ab crunch movement

Form Tips

• Keep your lower back pressed against the floor throughout the ab crunch • Don't pull on your neck - let your abs do the work • Focus on lifting your shoulders, not your entire back during each ab crunch rep • Breathe out as you crunch up, breathe in as you lower down

Common Mistakes

• Pulling on your neck instead of engaging your abs during the ab crunch • Lifting your entire back off the floor rather than just your shoulders • Doing ab crunch reps too fast without controlling the movement
