Abdominal Crunches Lie on back with knees bent and arms by your side. Hold your arms out infront with your finger tips pointing towards your knees. Now run your finger tips up towards the knees while squeezing the abdominal muscles so that your shoulder blades are slightly lifted off the floor and your midsection is "crunched". Hold this position for a count of 3 seconds, then slowly return to the starting position. Tip: Be sure to keep the neck relaxed and in a neutral position during the exercise.* Caution: Do not continue if you experience back or neck pain. Repeat this sequence 10-20 times. Perform 2 times per day. Perform 5 days per week. *NOTE: It is normal to experience slight discomfort while performing stretches or certain exercises. However, if any exercise or stretch causes pain or more than just slight discomfort, please discontinue the exercise or stretch. » back Make your online appointment here or ring (02) 9540 1833
