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!
