Reverse Crunch Combo

Video Transcript

"The next abdominal exercise we're going to do is called the reverse crunch/abdominal crunch combo. It's going to involve using the crunch that I've already shown you and the reverse tilt, combining those two movements. It's a little bit more of an advanced exercise. Start on your back. Hands are at your temples holding onto your head just slightly, ever so slightly. Lifting your feet up off the floor. Knees are bent at 90 degrees. I'm going to show you how to do this one with your feet crossed. From here, you're going to combine that reverse tilt with your abdominal crunch. So think of it and bring in your ribs and hip together, lifting your hips off the floor just a couple of inches. Slow and controlled. Abs are tight. Keep your chin tucked. That's your reverse tilt/abdominal crunch combo. You can speed up the tempo as well to change up the feeling a little bit. However, I'd rather have you do your crunches slow and controlled. Do not rush through the exercise and do not worry about quantity, rather be more concerned with the quality of your form, and using a slow tempo, about two counts up, two counts down. That'll effectively work your abdominal muscles."
