Exercises for the Abs from Peter's Principles
Bench Crunch
Sitting on a bench with your feet on the floor and your arms folded on your chest, sit up by contracting your abdominal muscles. This can also be done on the floor with your knees bent. Do 15-20 reps.
Fit Ball Crunch
This movement is the same as the bench crunch. To increase intensity, replace the bench with a fit ball. This will cause the secondary core muscles to work to maintain balance.
Bench Jack Knife
Sit sideways on a bench with your hands holding on the back side of the bench (picture 1) and your legs extended. Keep your feet off the floor and bring your knees up towards your chest (picture 2).
Oblique Crunch
Lay on your back with your knees bent. Let your knees fall to the right side (picture 1). Put your left hand under your chin and crunch straight up (picture 2). Do 15-20 reps and switch sides.
Pike Crunch
Lay on your back with your feet straight up in the air and your hands extended out over your head (picture 1). Bring your arms up towards your feet while squeezing your abs.
