Doing crunches with raised legs is a great way to really target, and concentrate 100% of your focus on developing your ab muscles.

You’ve got two options here, one hold your legs in the air at a 90 degree angle; or two, rest your legs on a bench or Swiss ball, which is the easier option.

Here’s how to do this exercise:

  • Lie down on your gym mat and lift your feet up onto to a bench, so that you heels are resting on it (alternatively hold your feet in the air, with your knees bent at 90 degrees).
  • Your whole lower back should stay flat on the gym mat.
  • Rest your hands on the side of your head, tense your abs and raise your shoulders off the ground towards your knees.
  • Hold the position for 2 seconds before lowering yourself down and then repeat
  • Aim to achieve 8-12 reps and do 3 sets.

Remember, don’t interlace your hands behind your neck or head, or pull on your neck for support, your abs should be doing ALL the work. Also, keep your elbows pointing out to your sides, not facing your legs.
