Reverse Crunch

Core · Bodyweight

How to do it

On your back with your hands beside you or under your glutes. Bring your knees to your chest **by curling the pelvis**, not just folding at the hip, lifting your tailbone off the floor. Lower slowly. The difference between a reverse crunch and swinging your legs is exactly that pelvic curl. You feel the lower abs.

Variants

The drawing shows one way of doing it, and the technique above describes that one. Almost every exercise has variants — standing or seated, the grip, the bench angle — and is still the same exercise: if you do it another way, write it in the exercise note and you will have it every time you train it.
