Exercise Benefits

Crunches target the abdominal muscles and adding them to your workout routine helps to tone and strengthen your core, improves your posture, trims down your waist, and increases your balance and stability.

Sets And Reps

Start with 2 or 3 sets of 15 to 20 repetitions. You can increase the challenge by doing modified versions of crunches, like roll ups and sit ups. Alternate exercises frequently so that your muscles don’t get accustomed to the same moves.
