Reverse Crunch: how to do it and form tips

A crunch performed by curling the hips toward the chest instead of lifting the shoulders. Stronger emphasis on the lower abs.

Form tips

1. Lie on your back with hands by your hips or under your lower back.
2. Curl your hips up off the floor — this is the rep, not lifting your legs.
3. Lower with control. Don't let your lower back arch off the floor.
