Reverse Crunch is Very Effective Lower Abdominal Exercise
Watch Reverse Crunches Exercise Video
Reverse crunch is the best lower abdominal exercise. This exercise can be done almost everywhere – home, gym, park etc. For this exercise you only need flat surface.
I like this free ab workout video very much (because it is my production lol). I include exercises for 3 of the main abdominal muscle groups – upper, side and lower ab. The video is challenging and at the beginning it may be difficult for you. My advice is to try to follow my repetitions and if you feel tired rest for a while (1-2 repetitions) and go on.
The purpose of this video is to be hard and challenging – if you don’t experience difficulty, this ab workout is not suitable for you (you need harder exercises).
But if you feel exercises are hard for you – Bingo! – This ab workout is just for you. Exercises must be hard; otherwise they don’t have any weight loss result. Read more…
You maybe surprised which is the best abdominal exercise! It is not ab crunches, or knee raise or sit ups or leg raises or any other abdominal exercise you know.
The best stomach exercise is very simple and cost nothing. The only thing you need is your legs, because the best abdominal exercise is running. Many people don’t know this and it is not a secret, it has a logical explanation.

Definition of percent body fat: this is the percentage of fat your body contains. For example if your weight is 150 pounds and your body fat percentage is 20%, it means your body consists of 30 pounds of fat and 120 pounds of lean body mass (muscles, bones, blood, water, internal organ tissue and other).
When some body says that he wants to loose weight it means that he wants to loose fat. Fat in our body has very important role, but when fat is over certain percentage of your body weight it is considered not healthy also known as obese.
You need fat in your body for hormone synthesis; fat regulates body temperature and protects internal organs despite of this healthy percentage of body fat has to be calculated in order to know your health level.
Why you are searching for the answer of how many calories do you burn when doing crunches? Do you care how much calories you are burning while doing abdominal exercises?
You have to stop worry about how many calories you burn and to worry how many calories you take. Why? Because your burn no more than 50 calories when doing crunches. You can do crunches for 30 minutes and you will burn calories equal to a glass of fruit juice.
The only benefit of crunches is that they make your abs harder and bigger and if you burn the fat over your abdominal muscles you can see you six pack abs. Every person has 6 pack abs. But not everybody can see them, because they lie under the fat. Read more…
