Crunch - Gina

This is Gina from Blue Wave Martial Arts and Fitness demonstrating proper crunch technique. Prepare by bending your knees with your feet flat on the floor, and your hands behind your head. Press your low back down into the floor, so that your whole spine is pressed flat. Raise your shoulders off of the floor, until your shoulder blades are completely off. This is your starting position for the crunch. Be careful you don't pull on your head; just support your head in your hands so that your neck doesn't get tired. When you crunch, you come up and down just an inch or two, not very far. Proper crunch technique is a small movement completely flexing the abdominal muscles. Here is the incorrect way to do a crunch: Her low back is up in the air, her shoulders are touching the floor each time, and she's using a swinging momentum which does not make her abdominal work.
