Flex

Reverse Crunches

Muscles worked

Technique

Setup

Lie on your back with arms at your sides, knees bent 90° and feet lifted off the floor.

Movement

Curl your knees toward your chest, lifting your hips off the floor, then lower slowly until your tailbone touches down.

Form Tip

Lift with your abs, not momentum — the slower the hips rise, the better.

Increase Difficulty

Straighten your legs more, or pause at the top.

Decrease Difficulty

Reduce the range, just tilting the pelvis without lifting the hips.
