The reverse crunch comes in 7th place for effective ab exercises, with a focus on the rectus abdominis. You'll feel this move targeting the lower part of the abs, although the entire muscle is working.
Direction
- Lie on the floor and place hands on the floor or behind the head.
- Bring the knees in towards the chest until they're bent to 90 degrees, with feet together or crossed.
- Contract the abs to curl the hips off the floor, reaching the legs up towards the ceiling.
- Lower and repeat for 1-3 sets of 12-16 reps.
- It's a very small movement, so try to use your abs to lift your hips rather than swinging your legs and creating momentum.
