Ab Crunches Video
I've added an ab
crunches exercise video. It demonstrates the proper technique for performing
ab crunches. You may want to read up on my text instructions in my previous
blog entry before watching this video. It's difficult to perform the exercise
and speak, say everything I really want to say about the exercise.
Sorry for the poor lighting.
I'll have to re-film it when it's sunnier outside. It was filmed using
a digital camera. There's only so much light those tiny lenses can gather!
One day I'll have to buy myself a video camera.

Exercise For Your Abs
Everybody wants toned abs.
Am I correct? Most people want toned abdominals for aesthetic reasons namely
to look beautiful, but there are other health reasons why you should be
exercising your ab muscles. The main reason is that a toned tummy puts
less strain on your back and prevents you from encountering future back
problems. Also, you do not have to strive for a six-pack to have beautiful
tones abs. Toned abs are just as beautiful and sexy!
One of the most effective
and simple exercises for your abs that can be done almost anywhere and
anytime are ab crunches. These can be done in your home, gym or even your
office, preferably 3 times per week. You do not even need any equipment
except maybe an exercise
mat if you like!
Here's the best way to do
Ab Crunches to get optimal results:
Lie flat on your back making
sure your back touches the ground. Put your hands on your chest or behind
your head. Slowly lift yourself from the ground using your abs only and
your eye focusing forward. If you have your hands behind your head, do
not lift yourself using your hands. That's why hands on your chest is better.
It keeps you from improperly doing the exercise. Once you reach as far
as you can go (but not in a seated position, this is not a situp), slowly
lower yourself to the ground.
I know text instructions
are difficult to follow, but I will be adding a video demonstration of
Ab Crunches for you soon.
