Curling Bar Crunches Technique Instructions

Curling Bar Abs Crunches
Technique - Start by placing the curling bar onto the floor in an area that will provide enough space to perform the exercise. Position yourself underneath the curling bar and place your head flat onto the pad. Position your feet shoulder width apart with your legs in a triangular position. Grip the curling bar on the top section with your palms facing away from you. Exhale as you crunch yourself forwards pushing on the bar as you raise yourself upwards. Allow the curling bar to move smoothly with your body and keep you in a strong position. Squeeze your abs muscles inwards at the top of the motion and hold this position for a count of 1. Inhale as you lower your upper body down in a slow, controlled manner again allowing the curling bar to move with the motion. Do not allow any longer than a 1 count before starting the next rep as this will maintain pressure on the upper abs muscles.
