Double Crunch

In the reverse crunch bulletin I told you how it is proven to be one of the most effective stomach exercises for working all the muscles in the stomach area very hard, even the side stomach muscles!

The Double Curl is a progression and even more demanding than the Reverse curl as you bring both your lower back and your shoulders off the floor together.

Here are the technical details - The Double Curl Technique

1.Lie on your back and lift your feet off the floor with your knees completely bent.
2.Breathe out and suck your belly button in.
3.Using your abdominals, pull your bum off the floor as high as you can and curl your shoulders off the floor at the same time.
4.When you curl up, keep your tummy in, do not kick your legs, or pull with your elbows.
5.Pause slightly at the top – holding the crunch for 1 second - and lower your bum and shoulders down in control, breathing in as you do so.
6.Do them slowly and in control and sets of 20 will be super effective.
