Now if you would like an alternative to regular crunches you can also do reverse crunches
in this situation Amy is going to put her hands underneath her tail bone and push the
small of her back down into the mat. This will help protect you lower back. She is going
to keep her head down. If you have neck problems this will be a better excursive for you. Then
she's going to breath out and bring her knees up towards her nose attempt to lift her butt
about a inch about an inch above the ground and she's going to come down but not quite
touch the floor and come up and down in this area. She's going to make sure to breath.
And hopefully she's going to feel some lower abdominal muscle's working. Once again on
this exercise if this bothers your lower back this isn't the right exercise for you. Otherwise this is a great abdominal exercise.
