Crunches are very popular in most fitness centers because they are a great way to burn the belly fat and is a guaranteed technique to have a firm flat abdomen. Stomach crunches guarantee you a flat belly tummy within 4-5 weeks of doing them but it all depends on the amount of fat you have around the abdomen and how you exercise. Stomach crunches vary. The regular crunch is done while lying on the floor. Your feet should be on the floor the entire time and the hands locked behind the head or straight on the floor. As you do the crunches, it is workable to ensure your back is constantly on the floor or ground, as it will stretch your stomach muscles to the maximum level.
Stomach Exercises will make your abdominal muscles stronger and more firm though they alone will not help you get the perfect abs. Coupled with the right diet and other exercises then you will be on the way to having sculpted abs Among the top ab crunches is the reverse crunch. This exercise will make the abdominal muscles feel the strain and unlike the regular crunches, it does not result in back pain or other complications. The reverse crunch can be done easily at home and exercises all the muscles in the abdomen i.e. the lower, the oblique and the upper abdomen muscles.
You can do the reverse crunch lying flat on the floor. The first step is to bend your knees imitating a similar posture you would while doing an ordinary crunch. Your hands should be beside your hips while your arms are stretched out on the floor and more importantly, ensure that your back is firm on the ground.
The trick is to avoid clenching the hip muscles because it is an abdominal muscle exercise we are trying to workout the abdomen muscles alone. When doing this particular exercise, make the movements swift or moderately slow. One should do this for 10 complete repetitions every day for at least 30 minutes. After a few days, those flat abs should be visible.
