Reverse Crunch

Set-up

• Lie on your back with your knees bent to 90° and your feet off the floor.
• Rest your arms by your sides, palms down.

How to do it

1. Curl your hips off the floor, bringing your knees towards your chest.
2. Pause briefly at the top.
3. Lower your hips slowly back to the floor.

Coaching cues

• Let your stomach muscles lift your hips, not momentum.
• Keep your knee angle the same throughout.

Common mistakes

• Swinging the legs to throw the hips up.
• Pushing down hard with your hands to help.
