Summer time!! Get yourself down to your feet and start to workout to the perfect body!
Crunches are a lot like sit-ups, except that instead of lifting your
entire back off the floor, you only lift your upper back. This isolates
("crunches") the ab muscles without engaging muscles in your hips.
Crunches are also safer than sit-ups because they don't compress your spine as much. When paired with adequate weight loss, doing crunches regularly can lead to six-pack abs. If your goal is simply a flat stomach, however, spot exercises won't help. Read How to Lose Belly Fat instead.
Lie flat on your back with your knees bent
and your feet together flat on the floor and about 10-15 inches from
your buttocks. Your hands should either be crossed on your chest, by
your side, or cupped behind your ears.
Without moving your lower body, curl your
upper torso up and in toward your knees, until your shoulder blades are
as high off the ground as you can get them. Only your shoulder blades
should lift - not your back. As you come to the highest point tighten
and flex your abdominal for a brief second. Slowly lower yourself back to the starting position. Repeat for reps.
