My butt be in the way trying to do the hand behind head. I can't keep my back st8t with it in the way … Need tips.
Good video, I just want to emphasize something.
In most exercises, we are encouraged to keep our backs straight. But not with this exercise. I used to keep my back straight during the whole motion of the crunch (I do weighted crunches for bodybuilding) and I would feel lower back pain. Then I realized you have to contract your abs, so that they curl up. With a straight back comes straight abs. Don't do this. The lower back should only leave the floor or bench (or whatever surface you're using) later on in the crunch, not right from the beginning.
So if I keep doing this will I get muscular abs???
Oh my god its Joan Cusack's daughter!
Thanks! I used to do 60 really fast but now 30 is a challenge when I do it slowly and properly.
I do weighted crunches too. Should I turn when I do them or how else do I work my side abs.
We can start on our back aswell ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
okay doing crunches is really hard… I have to do 300 a day! 🙁
When I crunch I get neck and head pain how do I correct this
Great video, thank you xx
Great video!!! I loved the back on the floor advice!
im sorry that is 90 degrees?
can i do it on the bed?
Thanks so much for sharing this!
Does it matter how fast you do a rep? For some reason I always tend to move upward fast and then down slowly.
Trying to get in shape a week before summer ends… just let me believe it's possible ok
Anyone else from that exercise program ?

She lowkey looks like an old betty cooper
Is this for men or women
So a sit up. ARE U FUCKING KIDDING ME SHE COULD HAVE JUST SAID SIT UP RATHER THAN 1.50 MINUETS OF JUST SAID RANDOM SHIT
This is nice movie I think. However, You should take instructions from Unflexal if you want to learn more about workouts.
wh does this just look like an easier form of a sit up to me.. and sit ups never burned my belly fat. they just made my abs stronger. :/
I'm trying to get fit.
That damn porn music
the fact that she's fucking talking while doing this and i can't even breathe
how many sets should I do daily?
Those knees are anything but 90 degrees… 48 degs at best.
I'm in quarantine right now and trying for ways to get in shape without going outside, cause I usually just go for a run lol. Wish me luck yall
It’s just so much easier to get fat !!
I'm trying to work my ab muscles. A biology teacher friend of mine told me about how it wasn't a gut sticking out on me, it was just loose and unworked ab muscles. I'm always sitting down since I'm pretty much always on a computer, and I want to get rid of the "gut." So crunches it is!
Wish me luck!
I always felt like I've been doing crunches wrong
