Reverse Crunch
A core exercise focused on the lower abdominals using a curling motion.
Instructions
- Lie on your back with your knees together and your legs bent to 90 degrees, feet planted on the floor.
- Place your hands on the floor beside you or behind your head for support.
- Use your abdominal muscles to pull your knees towards your chest as you inhale deeply.
- Lift your hips off the floor as your knees curl in towards your chest, keeping your back flat on the ground.
- Hold the crunch position for a moment, then slowly lower your legs back to the starting position.
- Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Using momentum to swing your legs instead of using your abs to lift them.
- Lifting the head off the floor or straining the neck.
- Arching the back excessively.
- Moving too quickly without control.
