Reverse Crunch Exercise for Abs

Reverse crunches is for the lower abs but, the rectus abdominis (six pack) is one long muscle, so you will find the effect from upper to lower abs. To do this exercise correctly:

  1. Lying on the floor, place your hands on the floor.

  2. With feet together, Lift your knees off the floor and bring them towards the chest until they're bent to 90 degrees.

  3. Curl the hips off the floor as if trying reach ceiling with your legs. Make sure you contract the abs before doing.

  4. Lower down and repeat for 12-16 reps.

  5. Since it is a very small movement, try to use your abs to lift your hips. Do not swing your legs while doing this exercise instead keep them still.
