Hands High Abs Crunches Technique Instructions
 |
Technique - Start by sitting down on the floor in an area that will provide enough room to perform the exercise. Lay back onto the floor and position your feet shoulder width apart with your legs in a triangular position. Extend your arms back behind you placing one hand flat on top of the other. Keep your arms straight and solid throughout the exercise. Exhale as you crunch your upper body and arms forwards not allowing your lower back to raise from the floor. Squeeze your abs muscles inwards at the top of the motion and hold the position for a count of 1. Inhale as you lower your upper body and arms down in a slow, controlled manner to maintain pressure on the abs muscles. Do not allow your arms to touch the floor or any longer than a 1 count before starting the next rep as this will maintain pressure on the abs muscles and increase the overall benefits of the exercise. |
