Overview

The arm-reaching crunch is a basic and effective abdominal exercise. Beginner exercisers may perform this exercise as part of their warm-up or cool-down. The arm-reaching crunch builds abdominal strength that will be required for more advanced exercises. This is an effective alternative to the full sit-up because your range of motion is limited and the movement is slow and controlled. Try a few of these during commercial breaks.

  • Place your palms on your thighs.
  • Slide your palms up as far as you can toward your knees, rolling your upper back off the floor.

Mistakes

  • Jutting the chin as you crunch up
