Reverse Crunch

This exercise works the core. This exercise targets the lower 4 abs. You have 8 abdominal muscles not six and this exercise works those bottom muscles. If you are moving your legs towards the ribs then it is the lower abs you are working.

	Step 1: Lie down on your back with your knees and ankles together. Your knees should be bent feet flat on the floor arms straight beside your body hands down.
Step 2: Ensure shoulders are square and lift legs towards your upper body in an arc motion. The angle of your knees should remain the same throughout the movement.
	Step 3: Lift tail bone off the ground until only the top of the back is on the ground. Hold this position for a second and then lower slowly.
