The Long Arm Crunch – A Great Abdominal Strengthening Exercise

Another excellent abdominal exercise is the long arm crunch, which isolates the upper portion of your abdominal very effectively.

It’s really easy to do…

Strengthening

  • Lie down on a gym mat on your back with your knees bent at 45 degrees, and feet flat.
  • Stretch your arms out above and behind your head and hold your hands together
  • Tense your abs and lift up your shoulders off the floor
  • Pause and hold for a few seconds before returning to the start position
  • Try and do 3 sets of 12-15 reps.

If you really want to power up this exercise, you can use a weight, and perform weighted long arm crunches. You’ll probably have to build up towards doing these, but they are great for really giving your abs that boost…

    Here’s how to do them…
