- Lie down flat on your back with your knees bent and your feet on the floor.
- Hold your hands wherever you feel comfortable (on your chest or beside your head - just be sure you don't pull on your head).
- The typical crunch is taught by instructing you to simply roll your upper torso forward. This is fine to start with.
- To increase the effectiveness of the crunch movement, push your chest and head up towards the ceiling pushing your lower back flat onto the floor.
