Featuring Jackson Sayers, B.Sc. (Kinesiology)

Duration: 50 seconds    

This variation of a lower body crunch is really great for the hips. 

It really puts the hips into a position that maximizes the flexibility of them and helps loosen them up. So, get your neck supported. Get on to your back. Get your leg up onto the knee in a nice straight position and from there, you simply want to do a crunch. 

It comes up, it goes down and what you will find that when you first start out your range of motion is probably going to be a bit small. Then as your hips start to loosen up you start to get a really nice lower body crunch out of it.  

Repetitions are ten to fifteen. Go nice and slow. Contract your tummy. Keep your upper body relaxed and you will find that over time it is a great exercise not only for getting some stomach work, but also for loosening up your hips at the same time.
