About

It is a workout to target the upper abdominal muscles. You have to raise your legs with the strength of your core, not your waist or neck. Please be careful not to use your body's rebound!

How to Reverse Crunch

Starting Position

1. Please lie down comfortably on the floor.

2. Bend your knees and lift your legs so that your thighs are perpendicular to the floor.

3. Spread your arms wide and support your body on the floor to keep it steady.

Proper Form

1. Bend your knees so that they are perpendicular to the ground while lying on the floor.

2. Engage your abs as if your knees are touching your chest and lift your hips up.

3. Hold this position for about 1 second, then slowly return to the starting position.

Breathing Technique

Exhale when you raise your legs, and inhale when you lower them.

Precautions

Be careful not to lift your lower back excessively off the floor, and focus on engaging your abdominal muscles.
