Reverse crunch (Strength)
Reverse crunch (Strength)
What you should feel?? When performed correctly, you will feel the muscles in your trunk, specifically the abdominals working.
Instructions:
- Laying on your back with your knees bent and in the air
- Focus on lifting your buttocks into the air, without swinging your legs
- The movement should be small, but a firm contraction felt throughout the upper abdominals
- Continue with the agreed amount of sets and reps
Main muscles targeted:
- Abdominals
- Some core muscles if recruited
Main benefits:
A good variation on abdominal crunches, this exercise will recruit part of the abs and obliques that a normal crunch wont. It is aimed at recruiting more of the lower abs which may get missed or under-recruited with a normal crunch.
