Reverse Crunch - Half

Lie down on your back with your legs in the air, knees bent at 90 degrees and directly above your hip bone (like you are in the seated position, but on your back).

Place your hands out to the side for support and keep your head relaxed back and on the ground.

Now bring your knees in towards your chest so that you roll your hips off the ground allowing your spine to curl up. When your knees are as close to your chest as you can get them, slowly lower them back down to the ground.


Do's Don'ts
  • Do breathe out on the way up and in on the way down
  • Do use your hands for support
  • Do get your hips off the ground
  • Do use your stomach muscles to complete the movement
  • Do lower your hips slowly
  • Don't hold your breath
  • Don't use your arms to aid the movement
  • Don't drop your hips back down
  • Don't raise your head
  • Don't kick your legs to aid the movement
