How to Do a Reverse Crunch: Exercise Benefits, Variations

Step into any workout class with ab-toning in the description and it’s a safe bet you’re on your way to doing at least a few different types of crunches. Classic crunches, bike crunches, vertical leg crunches… they are all challenging in their own way. Reverse crunches are also likely to be added to the mix, and this is another ab move that can be tricky to master.

“Most fitness professionals will tell you that the reverse crunch targets your rectus abdominis, which are the abdominals that you can see, sometimes referred to as your ‘six-pack’, specifically your lower abs. Although this is true, it also targets your deeper transverse abs and really hits your core as a whole,” says Andrew Slane, NASM, a sports conditioning specialist and Fiture trainer. In other words, if you want to tone your abs, this is a great move to incorporate into your workout routine.
