Instructions:
- 1Lie down with your back flat on the floor, knees bent and feet flat on the ground
- 2Hold a dumbbell in both hands and extend your arms towards the ceiling, keeping a slight bend in your elbows
- 3Crunch up by lifting your shoulder blades off the floor and extend the dumbbell straight up towards the ceiling
- 4Pause at the top, then slowly lower your upper body back down to the floor
Tips:
- Avoid pulling on your neck with your hands, focus on using your abdominal muscles
- While crunching, aim at maintaining the position of the dumbbells throughout
- Keep your movements slow and controlled for maximum muscle engagement
- Exhale as you lift your body and inhale as you lower it
