Reverse crunch guide
- Lie on a mat with your back
- Put your knees together and bend your legs at 90 degrees with your feet flatly planted on the surface
- Put your palms facing the floor as they provide you with support
- Make sure your abs are tight and lift your hips and pull in your knees towards the chest
- Make a pause with knees close to your chest and then lower them to the starting position making sure your back is in full contact with the surface.
Trainer’s tips
- The exercise should be done slowly and legs are lowered in a slow and controlled motion
- When bringing knees toward your chest do not use any momentum as only hips and the abs should make the movements
- Your neck should be steady, therefore, avoid moving it up and down
- Arms should be at a stationary position throughout the exercise
Reverse crunch benefits
- The reverse crunch strengthens your core
- Reverse crunches also improve on one’s lower back stability
- Reverse crunches strengthen your hips and spine and also correct your lordosis as you tilt your back in a posterior position.
