Abs: Vertical Leg Crunches


Posted by Ecotistic Magazine on 04 Mar 2013

Today’s ab workout of the week is the Vertical Leg Crunch, another effective exercise for your abdominals. Similar to a regular crunch, this exercise forces your abs to do all the work!

Vertical Leg Crunches:

  • Find a comfortable place on the floor and lie on your back
  • Extend your legs straight up with your legs crossed at the feet.
  • Place your hands behind your head without pulling on your neck.
  • Contract your abs to lift your shoulder blades off the floor, bringing your chest towards your feet.
  • Keep your legs in a fixed position and bring your head towards your knees, contracting your abs at the top of the movement.
  • Lower and repeat
  • Try completing 1-3 sets of 10-15 reps. 

*Try incorporating this exercise into your routine 3-4 times a week to help strengthen your abs
