Overview

The narrow-feet crunch on bolster is an effective exercise for strengthening the abs and obliques. This exercise can be performed at home or in the gym. If a bolster is unavailable you can use a rolled up towel. The bolster increases the exercises range of motion and provides for a better contraction.

• Place your feet flat on the floor close together and your finger tips to the sides of your head.
• Keeping your neck neutral, push your back into the rolled-up towel and roll your upper back off the ground.
• Return slowly to the starting position.

Mistakes

• Jutting the chin as you crunch up
• Yanking the head up with the hands
