Say hello to my favorite ab exercise, the Double Crunch. You start out sitting perpendicular to a bench, then lean back and stick out your legs until you’re balanced in sort of an upright plank. Then just do a crunch! And try not to fall on your head. It’s challenging, it’s a constant burn, and it engages the whole abdominal chain, something that can’t be said for a whole lot of ab exercises.
If you need to, you can hold onto the bench with your hands until you learn to balance through the whole rep. It takes awhile to master, but it’s SO effective, once you do. Try for five sets of 15-20 to really build ab strength.
