Spotter Required: No

Minimum Equipment needed: a soft surface like a carpet or exercise mat

The best equipment to use: Abdominal Crunch Machine

Warmup: Warmup are generally not required if the implementation of abdominal crunches, if you then do 5-10 reps at a medium speed warm-up request

How often should I perform this exercise: Abdominal crunches are great for working your upper abdominal muscles and can be performed with any abdominal training, they are relatively easy to pretty much anyone can do it, which is good news for beginners.

When should this exercise: I personally think abdominal workouts start with crunches, since they are implementing one of the simplest abdominal exercise, but it's not really important when they perform at the beginning, middle or end of the abdominal workout.

How the exercise: Lie down with knees bent and feet flat on the floor in front of you, keep the feet in-line with your hips. Hold your hands behind your head, and thus put his thumb behind the ears. Now up and lure forward with your stomach muscles to keep your head and neck straight, do you remember thee not, sit with crunches, your back is pretty much remain on the ground.

If you're in the top position (contraction) keep for about 1 to 2 seconds, then slowly lower your body to get to the starting position. I personally run with crunches 3 sets of 15 to 20 reps, but you can do as many repetitions as you want.

Mentality: The key to this exercise is when your abdominal muscles tight contract (up) and hold for about 2 seconds. Second, make sure you stop the movement slowly, as they work your abs harder.
