Not only that but fuck ALL ads when you’re on a motivational or workout video you’re killing the vibe we don’t need fucking interruptions especially when you have wireless headphones and aren’t using your phone.
Not a reverse crunch, more like.a regular crunch and.a reverse crunch at the same time...still, she has some serious abdominal strength that should be applauded
These exercises are challenging. Guess that's an indicator that it works. Thanks for these videos, otherwise i might had to seek guidance somewhere else. Please keep it up!
Seriously?! hands behind the back of the head? feet crossed? number one: if the person exercising is tired, the hands on that position will simply force the neck up, originating a kyphotic posture. The hands should be lying on the chest and the person should always be looking up towards the ceiling. number two: if you cross your feet while doing this exercise (keep in mind i'm not calling this a reverse crunch), your waist will be slightly deviated (won't rest completely flat on the floor, leaning towards one of the sides). Never cross your feet while doing these.. number three: THIS IS NOT A REVERSE CRUNCH. As some have pointed out, in the reverse crunch only the legs come up, not the torso. In a reverse crunch, the arms should be fully extended to the side of the torso with the palms on the floor. wow...
Indeed my friend. I find really really incredible a video this bad has more than 1 million views. Wow, so much damage. To be honest, there're many variants for the exercise (for example it's not mandatory to have the arms on your side) but this video is wrong in so many ways...to all the unfortunate that happened to see this video, check this: stronglifts.com/the-reverse-crunch-get-your-six-pack-abs/ and after reading find some video or image that shows how to properly do it.
To be fair, tired or not, its possible to do the exercise without pulling on your neck... Its called control... When I first started doing this exercise I was kinda doing that when raising up, and it wasn't even because I was tired... I have trained myself not to do that, and do not do it even when tired... Thanks for the clearance on the whole reverse crunch thing though... I was struggling to understand just how/what made this a reverse crunch. What you say about a reverse crunch being, when you raise your legs only makes perfect sense... On the app that I have they call these reverse crunches, and the actual reverse crunches leg raises... They're hard, I hate them, they're one of my worse nightmares
This is not a reverse crunch. In a reverse crunch your upper back does not leave the floor, you just pull your knees towards your chest. This movement in the video is a combination of a standard crunch and reverse crunch.
I can't believe this is posted by LiveStrong.com - until now, I thought they were a reputable authority in health and fitness. This is not a reverse crunch. In a reverse crunch, the upper body stays flat on the ground, and the legs begin from a raised, 90-degree angle position. From there, contract the lower abdominal muscles and raise the legs (still in a 90-degree position) slightly toward the head. You can think of it as lifting your butt off the mat while bringing your legs a little closer to the head. Lower and repeat. It's a small, but effective, motion.
5 mins cardio, 10-20 reps repeat this three times make sure your hydrated throughout. End your workout with a cool warm down session. I'd also recommend getting logged onto my fitness pal on the net so far Ive lost 35lb in 2 months an feel great!
wether your feet are on the ground or in the air, what she's doing are still genuin crunches. Reverse crunches = you lay flat on your back, raise scapula frop the ground, now you sequentialy raise stretched or bend legs by lifting your pelvis. Legs nor hips are moving, just the pelvis.
If you want to lose weight do bridges, only do this if you are skinny (no offense) these reverse crunches are to get six packs not for losing belly fat, hope this helps :)
Regular crunches have your feet flat on the ground, and you raise your head 6 inches. With regular crunches you only move your head and shoulders, while reverse crunches is when you take your knees to your head, while moving your head to them. There's some variation in reverse crunches, some people only move your legs to your head, some people do it like you see in the above video.
I as well would highly recommend to rename the video as it isn't a reverse crunch. As you move as well your knees, I would call it a double crunch, too, as somebody else has already said.
i don't understand how people think this is not a reverse crunch. A normal crunch has your feet on the floor. if you're going to say that she is wrong maybe you should post some proof. :p
+David Royston well apparently I have successfully watched two "reverse crucnch videos that do it completely wrong. :/ I see now what the difference is and I apologize for posting in my ignorance.
not a reverse crunch but close... these are closer to v ups or v crushes... reverse crushes are all leg and back based no up body... while regular crushes are all upper body and back based...
It is most likely a lack of practice. I know when I started, my form was awful and I looked silly doing most exercises but after a bit of practice the form gets better and your problem should be solved.
You can't exercise the 'lower abs'. EMG tests show that any rectus abdominis exercise activates the whole muscle, not one upper or lower half at a time.
threenumbnuts from personal experience i know you can, i had hyperlordosis and when i did any ab workout, i would engage only the upper portion of my abs and my lower abs weren't being worked half as hard. I think it's what you say for the other way round though, its hard to find an exercise which works the lower abs much more
I love how you call it out, then fail to give a reference to a decent method. Pics/link/etc or gtfo! (Not saying you are wrong, just saying that if you call it you should at least provide evidence)
I've been to multiple gyms and watch some videos and this is what they classify as a reverse crunch. If you are questioning the fact she is moving her upper body there are various ways and this increases the effect
@d4mnitsn4m122 your supposed to feel it in your upper and middle abs, but it is actually working your lower abs, trust me this is one of the most used ab exercises out their. It will work.
The neck can only hurt if you're pulling on it or contracting the muscles there. Your head, neck and arms are completely out of the equation with ab exercises. Only your abs should contract, and as a result your upper body will move along. Try doing crunches with your arms crossed in front of you to get the hang of it.
This is good, my lower abs havent been visible opposed to my uppers ones for i only have done reguler crunches, i was recomended legs lifts for lower abs but these seems better.
Hi! This is a little bit confusing. This demonstration differs quite much from a description about reverse crunch given on livestrong(dot)com article 'Alternates for Hanging Leg Raises'. If I understood what was written in the article, the movement should be minimal and include only the lower part of the body propelled by the contraction of lower abs.
Who cares what they are called... If anyone in the comments tried this exercise they would know that this heavily trains the lower abs. The Crunch movement just adds tension ontop. :)
The pain is your body's first reaction to something new. That just means your stomach is burning the fat quickly. Your stomach will keep on losing fat as you do it. After doing it for some time, your body is used to it; there won't be pain as much or so often. This also means your body is not burning off so much fat, and you would have to keep on doing it to keep the results.
@justbeauty01 Either, it's all about how much energy you burn compared to the calories you take in. Your best bet is to start exercising in the most fun way you can think of (sports, walking the dog, jogging, swimming, running around with kids, whatever). You should then look at your diet and think about all the things your parents probably told you as a kid eat lots of veggies, a small amount lean meat, limit fats and a small amount of healthy whole grains.
Hmm. Try putting your arms on the ground (so you can push against the ground as you lift) and keeping your upper body down as you lift your legs, somehow I feel like I'm getting a better workout when I do it that way.
Am i the only one having the hard tine to do this??? I can barely lift my upper body when my feet is up😩 imma do a regular instead for the 30 day challenge😂
I am not able to do that. Just as i start to move my head up my legs start to go away and also starts to straighten. And if I try to keep legs bent then my head won't move up.
Christina Oglesby omg I thought I was seeing things I looked to see if anyone else saw hair on her armpits lmao gross she definitely needs to shave before making more videos😂😂
I clicked on this knowing it would be a fail. How do they pick these people to be an expert? Want to know how to do a reverse crunch? Look up cruiser in pilates and do pilates head floats for proper hand placement and upper ab activation
This is not a reverse crunch, reverse crunches or done the same way as a regular crunch only on your stomach. Put you hands behind your head and use your abs to raise your torso (head first) up and down. For the more advanced use a twisting motion to get the sides as well
Dear RUclips, No pizza advertisement before workout videos. Ad will go to a deaf ear or your killing someone's motivation to get healthy.

This is basically a regular crunch with your legs in the air. NOT a reverse crunch.
lol true, but at least there's more burn to it than a regular crunch
True, there is more static resistance against the muscles. But it's still massively inferior to a proper reverse crunch.

this is a double crunch
Older videos didn't waste time on intro. They were Just straight forward. Nice. I like it...
This is not a reverse crunch. In a reverse crunch your upper back does not leave the floor, you just pull your knees towards your chest. This movement in the video is a combination of a standard crunch and reverse crunch.
Yes I thought it too. I can do reverse crunch but unable to do this as I am hurting my lower back. Any advise ?
That's what I thought 👍🇬🇧
Anyone else have to search this up for the mikasa abs workout thing
She is strong....really. I stopped just after 4 or 5 reps....she was even talking while demonstration....huge respect to you madam......

I just roll back. 😂
Thanks there missy, thanks to you a lot of people are doing it wrong. This is not reverse crunch, looks more like double crunch
That's the form of a double crunch. A reverse crunch includes movement from the lower body only.
wether your feet are on the ground or in the air, what she's doing are still genuin crunches. Reverse crunches = you lay flat on your back, raise scapula frop the ground, now you sequentialy raise stretched or bend legs by lifting your pelvis. Legs nor hips are moving, just the pelvis.
If you want to lose weight do bridges, only do this if you are skinny (no offense) these reverse crunches are to get six packs not for losing belly fat, hope this helps :)
i feel like no one who's critiquing this harshly has anything close to a six-pack
Hmb
... If these are reverse crunches, what are regular crunches? O_o

Correction you can exercise your lower abs. You just can't isolate them. You can however do exercises that focus more on your lower abs.
Attempting to do transformation, this will help out in the long run, thx
keep a flat back and push downward on the floor with arms/flat hands. Works....
FAIL! This is not a reverse crunch! My instructor was right! There is a lot of bad information on youtube ( duh lol )
I love how you call it out, then fail to give a reference to a decent method. Pics/link/etc or gtfo! (Not saying you are wrong, just saying that if you call it you should at least provide evidence)
eman tsrif enam stal like the visual evidence that this is just a crunch and not a reverse crunch?
Bczso
You completely missed my point.
It hurts my neck. Why? What Sam I doing wrong?

This isnt a reverse crunch, change the title please because it's misleading and incorrect

Thanks ma'am no neck strain at all😍
I'm in the gym rn thanks for the quick tutorial
I don't say I'm not too fat :D but with time it becomes easy, even though there's a long way to go for me :)
@d4mnitsn4m122 your supposed to feel it in your upper and middle abs, but it is actually working your lower abs, trust me this is one of the most used ab exercises out their. It will work.
@SoccerShoos You're right, you lose fat when doing cardio due to energy expenditure but you also expend energy doing crunches ipso facto, lose fat.
The neck can only hurt if you're pulling on it or contracting the muscles there. Your head, neck and arms are completely out of the equation with ab exercises. Only your abs should contract, and as a result your upper body will move along.
Try doing crunches with your arms crossed in front of you to get the hang of it.
Why do you not interlace your fingers? We have to in Army fitness.
It's more like a double crunch to me!

Thanks good Ma'am .. i appreciate this
Thanks for this do you have any other recommend tips for weight loss
Same here. The regular that we do only target the upper half of the body. We need something like this
Это невозможно. Спину попросту невозможу согнуть при поднятых ногах.
its common for few days after 10 15 days you'll feel better
How can the knees NOT be in line with the hips?
She meant in the vertical line. So directly above the hips. (as opposed to the chest).
This is hard asf
*I can't do that shit, it will surely break my damn back!*
“And I’m your freestyle dance teacher”
a regular crunch you use your abs to bring your upper body/face to your knees. The reverse crunch you are bringing your knees to your face

Mikasa abb workout anyone👀😮💨😮💨😮💨
personally i think 30 reps to a set is all you need, add weight to make it more strenuous
I would not have expected livestrong to get it so wrong
After i do this exercise my stomach if so.painful because this is my first time so it is normally or what plz reply me thanks
It's normal. Just keep it up.

Are you supposed to lift the pelvis of the ground when brining thighs to chest ?
I can not do it, my nose won't touch my knees..is there easier exercise to get those muscle prepared?

This isn't a reverse crunch - it's just a crunch. In a reverse crunch you keep your upper body on the ground and raise your legs and hips.
