The tuck crunch is an effective abdominal exercise targeting the rectus abdominis. It helps enhance core strength and stability while also working on the hip flexors. This move involves curling the torso towards the knees in a tucked position to maximize muscle engagement.
How to do it
- Lie flat on your back with your knees bent and feet lifted off the ground.
- Cross your arms over your chest and engage your core.
- Perform a crunch by lifting your head, neck, and shoulders off the floor, bringing your knees towards your chest.
- Hold the contraction at the top for a moment.
- Slowly return to the starting position and repeat.
