5 types of crunches for a flat belly

Long arm crunches:

• Lie on your back with your knees bent.
• This time your arms will go straight, extended above your head. Throughout the reps, your arms should remain straight above your head
• Now, lift your back or upper body off the floor to crunch. Make sure your feet remain flat on the floor while you crunch.
• Get back to the initial position
• Repeat

Reverse crunches: This is an easier version of crunches, basically for those having problems with the back. This type of crunches does not exert much pressure on the back.

• Lie on the floor against your back and lift the heels off the floor to reach the chair position.
• Now using the pelvis, pull your knees towards the chest and lift your hip off the floor, such that the toes of your feet point towards the ceiling.
