Leg Raised Abs Crunches Technique Instructions

Leg Raised Abs Crunches
Technique - Start by setting the weight bench to a flat position and sit down on the floor in front of the weight bench. Place the balls of your feet onto the weight bench shoulder width apart with your legs in a L-shape position. Lay back and place your hands behind your head interlacing your fingers together. It's important to keep your legs strong and in position for the duration of the exercise. Exhale as you crunch your upper body forwards until you feel your abs muscles stretch. Do not allow your lower back to raise from the floor and squeeze your abs muscles inwards holding the position for a count of 1. Inhale as you lower your upper body down in a slow, controlled manner to maintain pressure on the abs. Do not allow 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.
