Proper form for Crunches!
Lie on your back. Place your hands behind your head. Flex your hips and knees to a 90 degrees angle:
-inhale and lift your shoulders off the floor, moving your knees closer to your head by shortening your torso
-Exhale as you complete the movement
This excercise particularly works the rectus abdominis. To place more emphasis on the obliques, simply twist alternately from side to side (move your right elbow to your left knee, then move your left elbow to your right knee, and so on). The object of the crunch is to shorten your torso, moving your pubis closer to your breastbone by deliberately contracting your abdominals.
