Frog Crunch
Equipment
Engage your core and lift both your upper body and lower body off the ground, bringing your knees towards your elbows.
As you lift, try to touch your elbows to your knees, crunching your abs in the process.
Lower your body back down to the starting position, extending your legs out and straightening your arms back behind your head.
Repeat this movement for the desired number of repetitions, ensuring to keep your core engaged throughout the exercise.
Pro Tip
Engage Your Core: As you crunch up, ensure that you are engaging your core muscles, not just your neck or upper body. A common mistake is to pull up from the neck or shoulders, which can lead to strain or injury. Instead, focus on using your abdominal muscles to lift your upper body off the floor. Controlled Movement: Perform the movement slowly and with control. Avoid the temptation to use momentum to swing your body up and down. This not only reduces the effectiveness of the exercise but can also increase the risk of injury. Breathing: Breathe out as you crunch up and breathe
