Weighted Crunches

Tips

• Use your abdominal muscles when coming up, not arms.
• Relax your shoulders and neck.
• Focus on muscle contraction, the range of motion is not important.
• Do not shrug your shoulders.
• Try to relax your neck muscles.
• Focus on a proper technique, rather than heavier weight.

Breathing

• Breathe in going down, breathe out going up.

Make it Easier

• This exercise is quite challenging, so feel free to do it without the weight, and maintain a perfect technique.
