The Crunch

Stomach

·         Lie with your back on the floor.

·         Raise your legs to somewhere between a 45 to 90 degree angle.

·         With your hands beside your head, raise yourself up, concentrating on tightening your stomach muscles.

·         Keep your lower back on the floor.

·         Hold this position for about five seconds then rest for a couple seconds and go again until your repetition goal is achieved.

·         This is a good exercise to do when your children are not available or distracted.  My youngest likes to crawl on me while I do these.
