Exercise #42 Foot-Raised Abdominal

Crunches

This exercise is almost identical to the abdominal crunches (exercise #41) we looked at before. The only difference is that instead of having your feet flat on the ground, you have them raised up (similar to exercise #40). If you struggle to keep your feet up like this, then you can rest them on a chair, bench, or exercise box. However, it may make more sense just to perform abdominal crunches instead.

How to Perform:

1.​Lie on your back with your feet flat on the ground and your knees bent. Place your hands lightly behind your ears with your elbows wide.

2.​Bring your knees up at a right angle, as if you were resting your heels on an invisible chair.

3.​Brace your abs and then slowly curl your shoulders and upper torso off the floor.

4.​Briefly pause when you can curl no further.

5.​Slowly lower yourself back down to the starting position.

Once you have mastered this exercise, you can learn many variations (which are in the advanced section). This will massively increase the variety of exercises that are available to you.
