Love that she doesn't rant for five minutes about the importance of exercising your abs. Anyone watching this already knows that, just tell me the proper way to do a crunch!
Came here to watch a video on crunches because I wasn't sure I was doing it right. Found people arguing about shaving legs, camera angles, and armpit hair. Oh, Mondays on the Internet.
"If you're just starting do 8-12", lmao. I started yesterday and ended up doing 60 straight. But I couldn't get out of bed this morning so yeah... stick with 12
man if your doing them like her you better be able to do 500 of them no problem like what the fuck is that? its like doing push ups standing up while both hands are on a table lol
I love this tutorial! I have added this to my daily routine in addition to, push ups, weights and walking. I feel so much better when I start my day off. Thanks for the motivation!
As someone trying to get in shape for the first time, this channel has been great. No pitter patter intros, just straight to the point on the exercise.
I was thinking that the title of the video, "How To Do Crunches", was referring to how to eat a Nestlé Crunch candy bar to find the greatest enjoyment. My error.
Amy LR push using your abs, not your hands or head, that will most likely cause neck pain and won't work your stomach as much. (Might seem obvious but a lot of people try to do them without forcing with their abs)
I use to only be able to do 20 after having my son. Now I can do 100 :) This video really helped make sure I was doing it right - thank you! If some people feel like kicking it up a notch and targeting your lower abdominal muscles as well try bringing your knees towards you as you go upwards. You can feel it targeting the different muscles. I like to alternate 5 with knees up 5 without :)
Love how there isnt a long intro. It isnt overwhelming when I see the video is only like 2 minutes long. She gets right to the point. This was very helpful.
Winner of a video, I've been looking for "sit up techniques for abs" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of - Bondraw Firm Ferriferous - (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now ) ? Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my friend got great success with it.
Many thanks, I've been looking for "hanging sit up" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of - Bondraw Firm Ferriferous - (do a google search ) ? Ive heard some interesting things about it and my mate got cool results with it.
Also, if you have too much neck strain, it could possibly be because you are not tightening your core enough. Anytime my neck hurts during crunches, I tighten my abs and it disappears.
I've just watched a video where Arnold says that 200 crunches a day is a must. That one shouldn't even start a day without doing 200 crunches when they get out of the bed. So I figured I should find out what are they and how to do them so I ended here. :) Thnx Arnlod for making my every day a bit harder. :)
I've done sit ups for months, I just tried 12 crunches and I'm already in way more pain than situps ever gave me at 12 (I can do like 20-30 situps without feeling much now)
To do a good funktional crunch, you have to roll in further, meaning the lower back also have to leave the floor. But the hips/pelvic have to stay pressed in the floor, otherwise its gonna be a situp, and for those you need much more resistance than flat on the floor(you lose resistance wenn you go high enough because of gravity). But be careful you don't Arch the back while going up, always be as round as possible while crunching.
I think that's a terrible idea for your back. The spine will mold into the shape of the matress. If I am wrong I ask anyone who really knows to correct me. As I may be wrong. But I think this is why you use a thin mat on the floor generally speaking or a bench with a hard structure under it.
serious question: what do 10 crunches what 10 situps do not do besides being easier ? to me crunches seem to be like situps light, or am i missing something ?
13thmistral situps hurt your spine and might cause permanent damage on it including back pain. crunches are save and still provide about the same result as situps if done correctly as the lady shows in the video
Noticed my belly fat is starting to come back so I thought I’d take a refresher course on crunches, can’t wait to get back into the feeling of exercise
Would sit-ups be less effective? If this were incorporated into a certain routine, how much time would it take to see results, compared to if you were doing sit ups?
Did 50 crunches non-stop first time with this technique and it felt like it was working the muscles a lot harder and faster than doing 150 sit-ups with a 10 sec interval at 75.
I believe in taking care of myself and a balanced diet and rigorous exercise routine. In the morning if my face is a little puffy I’ll put on an ice pack while doing stomach crunches. I can do 1000 now.
No, all round exercises that use your energy will help you lose belly fat and fat in all other areas of your body for that matter. you can't target a certain area you want to remove fat from, contrary to what anyone you know or magazines can tell you. It's all bullshit. All you do its lower your body fat % by eating right and exercising regularly and consistently. Crunches will exercise the muscles around the core, strengthening them and adding definition. By having a well defined core may make it look like you have less fat around that area but you will never see what they could really look like unless you cut down ALL the fat in your body. the only way crunches will make you lose belly fat is by the general energy/calories it takes to complete them. I hope this helps
if anyone has problems with neck straining i tend to breathe in deeply every time i go up to help my body know to use my core to get up. it helps a bunch!
+DildosForChristmas i don't preach religion even though i'm religious, i keep it for myself. And this had nothing to do with it, masturbation (everyone do it) causes back pain problems and drains your energy. I don't see how this is irrelevant it's just a possibility my friend. or is it because of my name "Muhammad" you thought that i'm just trying to make you stop a bad habit for religious reasons so i can get the good deeds? Just throwing an advice... take it or leave it.
I don't know what the hell I'm doing, sorry about the language but I'm frustrated since everytime i try to crunch I can't lift the upper back properly since my damned legs wont stay down, I have skinny legs, I try anything and WHOOPS up goes my legs and my torso STAYS on the ground, the only way I can get up is if I lift my head up, but then it feels like I'm doing THROAT crunches, can somebody please help me, I've got a schedule to follow I do NOT want to fall behind.
For crunches, the only thing that should leave the ground are your shoulder blades, thus targeting the upper part of the abdominal panel, while the rest of your body should be anchored down by the weight of the lower half of your body. Keeping your legs down is usually a problem when doing a full sit up, not a crunch.
Thanks for the tips im gonna start my crunch journey starting today i should have BEEN doing these and i go tonthe gym about 5 times a week. I'll start doing these in the stretch area before and after my workouts.
