Crunches: Frog Legs (abs)
Crunches: Frog Legs changes your leg position to keep the abs challenged from a new angle and speed up results compared to a standard crunch. Lie on your back and bring the soles of your feet together with your knees dropped out to the sides, frog-style. Curl your shoulders and upper back off the floor, then lower back down slowly while keeping your feet together throughout.
Reverse Crunches (abs)
Reverse Crunches specifically target the lower abdominals by moving the hips and pelvis instead of the shoulders, filling a gap that standard crunches don't reach as directly. Lie on your back with knees bent and feet off the floor. Curl your hips up and in toward your ribcage using your lower abs, then lower back down with control, stopping before your feet touch the floor to keep tension on the muscle.
Reaching Medicine Ball Sit-ups
Reaching Medicine Ball Sit-ups use the weight of the ball to improve visible upper ab definition, adding resistance right where a standard sit-up is weakest. Lie on your back with knees bent, holding a medicine ball at your chest. Perform a full sit-up, reaching the ball forward and up as you reach the top position, then lower back down with control to the starting position.
