Standing Ab Crunch

Duration:2:17

I know this exercise might look easy, but if you're actively pulling and engaging the right muscles, it's very effective and great for building a strong core. Remember, core means the back of your torso as well as the front.

Suggested sets and reps: 8-15 reps, 2-4 sets, 3 times per week.

T.M.G. TRANSVERSE ABDOMINALS / HIP FLEXORS

NO POLE OPTIONS:

Dumbbells - Lie on the floor with arms stretched overhead while holding the dumbbells, lift one or both legs at a time holding a hollow body position.

Standing Cable Crunch - Keep the rope or handle about forehead level and bend forward.

Ab curl machine - Follow the instructions on the machine.

Hanging leg raises - These are not suitable for beginners, and if you're new to this exercise, start with the legs bent working up to extended legs as shown below.

Where should the spine be in relation to the pole while lifting? I've been putting the pole against the right side of my spine when lifting my right leg, and against the left side while lifting my left leg. I definitely feel the exercise but is there a better way?
