Crunches are a powerhouse move to target your abs. Here are 5 types of crunches to incorporate into your workout routine for a flat belly.
Bicycle Crunch
This type of crunch not only works your abdominal muscles but also your glutes as you do a repeated leg motion.
Reverse Crunches
This variation targets the upper belly fat and lower pouch simultaneously. Instead of elevating your shoulders, you lift your butt.
Standing Crunches
If you are too lazy to lie down on a mat then this is the move for you. Stand with your legs hip-width apart and raise your knee to touch your elbow.
Decline Crunch
Use a bench or hang your upper body down from the edge of your bed to perform a decline crunch. It requires more strength than a basic one.
Cocoon Crunch
To perform a cocoon crunch, lie down with your knees bent and hands intertwined behind your head. Now lift both; your legs and shoulders towards the centre.
Oblique Crunch
This crunch targets your obliques to give you a defined waistline. Instead of keeping your torso straight, you twist it alternatively.
Conclusion
It is important to perform a crunch slowly and pause at exertion movement. Doing crunches along with other cardio moves will give you visible results.
