When it comes to our bodies, we all have one place or another that we are not satisfied in some way. You sit here with people saying things like “I hate my thighs” or “my buttocks are too big”. Yes, some of these things are said with humor, but there is still dissatisfaction hidden there. Despite all that, one thing that is almost strange today is how our abs looks. Everyone seems to want those six-pack abs that are always impossible, but in a search of Ponce De Leon's source of youth, it seems impossible to find it. Now, although there is no “magic formula” for getting a flat, firm, and soft stomach, there is something you can do if you do it regularly, which will get you the results you want. To get these results, abdominal crunches need to be done daily but, remember that abdominal exercises alone will not burn fat from your midsection. Keeping your calories in balance and doing your daily crunches will be your way of seeing that flat, cool, delicious stomach. Crunches are easy to make, and when properly made, work very well on making those abs. Here's a step-by-step guide to how to get the most out of your crunches. Lie on your back with your legs bent at an angle of about 90 degrees on both your back and your feet facing down. Put your hands behind your head and make sure you do not stick your fingers together. You can turn your hands into fists so that you do not pull on the back of your neck. The next thing you have to do is choose a location on the roof directly above you. This should be done to ensure that you do not bend your neck during movement. Do not take your eyes off this place! The most common mistake when performing a crunch is severe pressure on the neck due to pulling on the hands. The next step is to stabilize the low back. This can be done by tightening the abdominal muscles. Slowly bend forward using only your abdominal muscles. There should be no bending of the waist. Keep your abdominal muscles strong at all times to ensure low stability. Keep your focus on that part of the roof to prevent neck pain due to stress. At the top, your shoulders should be only about 4-8 inches from the ground. No need to go on. Pause in this senior position. All of these movements should be slow and take about 2 seconds to perform. Stand on the surface for 1-2 seconds to ensure full access to the abdominal muscles. Slowly return to the starting position and keep your abs contracted. That's all there is to it. Crunch is not a very big move because it only works on your abs. A full sit-up does not work your abs better than a crunch because once you have passed the crunch position, your abs are fully contracted 'and 'it is your hip muscles that are difficult to lift, not your abs. Doing a hundred of these a day is not the key here. Doing two to three sets of 15 to 20 of these slowly and intentionally with good intentions is recommended, with high benefits and minimal risk of injury.
