V Crunch Exercises for the Abs

Video Transcript

"Hello, I’m Jacob Garcia with JGG Fitness Denver. I’d like to demonstrate for you how to do a proper V crunch. This exercise focuses on your upper and lower stomach muscles - the erectus abdominus. For this, I’ll need an exercise mat. You’re going to go ahead and sit down and curl your upper body and straighten out your legs. The position you’re going to start in, you’re going to have your head and shoulders blades up about one to two inches off the ground and your legs about two inches off the ground. This is the starting position, and your hands could be placed on the mat below your hips. You’re going to go to bring yourself up into this position, bending your knees at about a 90 degree angle and holding it for about two seconds and then going back to the starting position in a slow controlled manner. When you’re finished go ahead and bring your feet back down and you can sit up and relax. Good Job."
