Abs That Burn: A More Effective Crunch
This crunch not only helps you on your way to a six pack, but improves posture and helps prevent injuries! Your core is made up of mover muscles and stabilizer muscles. Mover muscles are muscles that rotate bones around their joints. These are often your “sexy” muscles. Stabilizer muscles keep your body safe by stabilizing your bones around your joints. Mover muscles create the bulk of the power, but are not near as effective if your stabilizer muscles are not conditioned. Stabilizer muscles in your core mostly consist of slow twitch muscle fibers.
The crunch that targets stabilizer and mover muscles:
The 4 steps:
1: Lie on your back in a normal crunch position.
2: Have someone put their hand under lumbar disks in your spine (the small of your back) and press your back on their hand. They can now take their hand out.
3: Keep this same position (your core should already be slightly contracted) and crunch up to about 70 degrees off the ground.
4: Lower yourself back to the ground and repeat. The core should be contracted throughout this whole all of your repetitions.
These are killer for your abs! After you perform these crunches please comment so others can hear your experiences!
