Right here I'm doing hanging Reverse Crunches
and this is a great ab exercise and I'm guessing most of you watching this
can't even do 1 of these but don't worry
because later on in this video I'm going to show you how to work your way up to doing this
and if
But note that how when I do this I'm not swinging
or using any momentum. I'm just going at a normal steady pace
and notice how when I finish I just don't drop down
I contract my abs and upper back muscles again
, to allow me to come down slow and under control
Now actually the first part of this movement
is a leg raise and at that point my hip flexors are doing
most of the work while my abs just contract
to stabilize my body And the last part of the movement is actually a
reverse crunch because since my hips are now already flexed
I have to use my lower abs (and not my hip flexors)
to rotate my hips and to also push my feet
all the way to the top. Now if you can't go all the way to the up to the top
then you want at the very least come up to a point where you have to rotate your hips
so your lower abs get a better workout because if you just
raise your legs without at least rotating your hips...
You're just going to get a good hip flexor workout
and a not so good ab workout and what you see me doing now
is the easier version of this exercise where my knees are bent
and not curling all the way up but I'm at least
curling up to a point where I have to at least rotate my hips
so my lower abs are working more so basically to work your way up
to getting your feet all the way up to the top... You can start doing it like I'm doing now
on the left but not coming all the way up
and if you're unable to at least come up to a point where you
rotate your hips... Then start off doing reverse crunches on an incline bench
or even on the floor like I'm doing on the right
But no matter how you do this exercise...
Do 2-to-6 sets of 8-to-20 reps
1-3x per week and you can expect to tone up your abs
very quickly doing this exercise but don't expect to get a flat stomach
or a visible six pack just by doing this exercise
You'll need to lose belly fat to truly do
