How to Get Abs {Without Crunches!}

Do crunches hurt your back or do you just flat out HATE doing them? You are NOT alone. I always get asked what are some great moves for working the abs without having to do crunches or sit ups.

First things first, let’s talk WHY crunches SUCK:

• Supports bad posture
• Puts oressure on your neck, back, and spine.
• Aren’t very effective.
• They do not tap into the deep core muscles (the ones that minimize belly pooching).
• They create tension in the hips.
• It will make your Diastasis Recti worse.
• They suck. Period.

So, if crunches suck so badly, then what are some better moves to work the abs? Glad you asked!
