Here, the hull would bend, correctly performed, is still an effective Exercise for a stable abdominal muscles. The better wording than Crunches (“Sit-ups”), however, is “Crunches”, which means pressing in German (belly). Because that’s the point: the torso just a little to straighten up, then the abdominal muscles remain tense/presses, and so for a while.

exercise description: you Lay back on a comfortable surface and place the feet hip width apart. The arms position to the side of the body. To tighten the abdominal muscles and lift only your shoulder blades, without the torso fully erect. The range of motion is only slight. The view is to the front of the top. Hold the Position for about 5 seconds, breathe quietly and regularly. Back roll the torso back to the ground without the shoulders. So you keep a basic tension between the repetitions.

reps: eight – to-twelve times. Three Series.

Difficult execution: and more reps and series. The hands holding the back of the head, elbows to the outside directed.

Simplified version: less repetitions and series. (sae/fk)
