Comments on How to Do an Abdominal Crunch

    Crunches will not trim waistline as stated in video. There is fat around the waist, and the only way to burn it is with cardio and better nutrition. You can do 1,000 crunches a day, and if you do not incorporate both cardio (30-40 minutes 4 days a week), and better nutrition (lowering fat and sugar intake, and increasing fiber), you will not see a trimmer waist.

    That was just about the stupidest thing I've ever seen about crunches. I'm pretty sure these comments are faked by Expert Village. They have been flooding the internet with crap how to videos for years now.

    This is good to know. Hard to target the lower abs but this will help!

    According to Kendall and Kendall, two muscle groups are responsible for the torso curl or sit-up: Hip flexes and abdominals. The bent knee crunch actually brings the hip flexes in to play more so than the abs. To strengthen the abs they state that initially place a small roll under the knees, rotate the pelvis posteriorly so that the arch in the lumbar spine region is flat, and then do the torso curl. You may not get very far in the curl at first but after repeated days and weeks your abs will be stronger and then remove the roll.

    Do your crunches holding dumbbells in your hands. Start with your arms extended straight up. By leaning your arms back behind your head, you will make your crunches even harder.

    Lie in a normal crunch position with your hands on your neck. As you come up, bring your left knee toward you and twist your body and touch your left knee with your right elbow. Alternate one side after the other.

    To get rid of love handles you need to exercise your back and make it stronger. You can do this by lying on your stomach (on a yoga mat or on the floor with carpet), put your arms out to the side away from your body, lift your legs up of the ground. Kick your legs fast, like you are swimming. Do this for 1 minute. Each day add 10 or 20 seconds. If doing this hurts your pelvic bones, try putting a flat pillow under you. Do this every day and you will see results.
