Improve the effectiveness of Abdominal Crunches

Lay Supine on floor(that's face-up in Anatomically
Correct lingo :p)

Raise your knees so calves are parellel to floor,
then let you kneesfall open, and cross your ankles
(kind of like sitting cross-legged butyour back is
on the floor.

What this does is it takes any stress off the
hip-flexors, which are themuscles that many
people use to CHEAT when doing crunches,
therefore reducing the effectiveness of the exercise.

Now, place your finger tips on your temples, and TRY TO PULL YOUR BELLY
BUTTON INTO THE FLOOR (visualize)

Look up at a spot on the ceiling, and keep looking at that spot to make sure you are not pulling on your head. To measure, make a fist and put it in between your chin and chest. It should fit.

Focus on contracting your abs througout the crunch, pausing for a second at full contraction (no more than 45 degrees).

With good form, you will only need to do 3 sets of 15 reps for a super effective ab workout.

GO FOR IT!
