November 1, 2008


Having the perfect abs is the dream of most people exercising for a perfect figure. Six packs are every men’s dream, and to have those perfect looking abs it is important to perform a few specific exercises. Reverse crunches are one of the exercise forms which could not only be useful to exercise your ab muscles, but could also be useful in retaining the perfect shape of the abdominal and lower abdominal regions of the body.

How to perform reverse crunches?

First of all you need to have a free space and also need to have a smooth mat surface. Its best to use your own body weight as the source of stress and pressure for the crunches. To perform the exercise, lie out on your back, with your hand and head forming triangle make it a point to spread the arms from the side. Try forming a L shape from your legs by lifting them straight up off the floor. Further, try and keep your head and upper back above the floor. The real exercise begins now, try and move you lower abdominal region and try and get your buttocks off the floor. This exercise could be repeated once or twice in a week initially followed by greater number of reps in the coming weeks.

Cautions to be observed during performing reverse crunches

Remember this very well that this is one of difficult forms of exercise to master. It is very important to maintain a proper back posture while doing this exercise, and it is also very important to understand that a mis performed could be harmful as well. Try and avoid stretching too much or stressing yourself too much during this exercise. It is also important to note that tail bone should not come above the floor surface during the first part of this exercise regimen.

In our opinion, it would not be a bad idea to consult an expert initially to master this exercise form and enjoy the maximum benefits of reverse ab crunches.
