It’s no secret that the crunches are one of the most popular ab exercises on the market, but doing this basic move can become pretty monotonous after a while. Here’s five variations you should try to make this exercise more exciting.
Bicycle Crunch
This variation differs from the basic crunch because you’re required to make bicycle movements with your legs. In addition to being great for your abs, this exercise will also do wonders for your legs, because it comes with a fuller range of motion.
Reverse Crunch
The one main difference between reverse crunches and the regular ones is the fact you’re required to lift your hips up in the air and keep pulling them towards your chest while doing the classic move.
V Crunch
It takes some time to master this one, but it’s one of the best exercises out there since it trains your abs, lower back and obliques at the same time. This exercise consists of lifting both your legs and upper torso off the floor and making a V shape with your arms and legs.
