Technique

How to perform Reverse Crunch

1. Lie on your back with your arms resting beside your torso and your palms on the floor.
2. Raise your bent legs so your thighs are approximately above your hips and your shins are roughly parallel to the floor.
3. Curl your pelvis toward your rib cage, lifting your hips from the floor without throwing your legs.
4. Pause briefly at the top of the controlled curl; the knees do not need to touch your chest.
5. Lower your pelvis and spine back to the floor slowly, returning the bent legs above your hips without swinging.
