Towel Crunch

Difficulty: Advanced

The towel crunch is a slightly more advanced variation on the normal crunch. Placing a towel under the lower back increases both the range of motion and difficulty of the exercise.

	Step 1 - Lie Down Lie down on your mat with your knees bent and your feet flat. Place a folder towel underneath your lower back, just above the tail bone. Place your hands on your head just behind the ears.
	Step 2 - Crunch Up Contract your abs pulling your shoulder blades off the mat. Make sure your neck and arms remain relaxed.
	Step 3 - Return to the Starting Position Slowly relax the abs until your shoulders reach the starting position and repeat.
