Preparation

Ab crunches work all the abdominal muscles, but primarily work the rectus abdominis muscle and the obliques. Lie flat on your back with your feet flat on the ground. Place your hands behind your head for stability, make sure your lower back is touching the floor and isn’t arched.

Method

Step 1

Now, exhale and slowly raise your head, shoulders, and upper body off the ground

Step 2

Your shoulders should lift up only about four inches

Step 3

Make sure your lower back stays on the floor

Step 4

Once you go up, contract your abdominals hard

Step 5

Hold the contraction for a second

Step 6

Now, inhale and come down slowly to the starting position

Step 7

Repeat for the desired number of reps.
