Fitness Tip of the Day: Tuesday Trunk and Core -- Crunch Fitness Washboard Abs



This week's core workout comes from Crunch Fitness.  I used to watch this all the time when it was on ESPN.  The clothing (and full makeup) shows this is from the 90's, so it's a little more choreographed--especially the warm up.

Remember when you have the hands behind the head, keep the elbows drawn back so that you don't pull on your neck--even if they have the elbows forward, don't do it.  Make sure you always keep a bend in your knee on crunches.  This is a full 15 minutes of ab work, consisting of a variety of crunches.  On the planks at the end, keep your bottom down--don't stick it up in the air like they do in the video--your body should be lined up like in the picture above.  Don't forget to do some cardio to burn some fat and calories as well.  Doing this workout alone, will NOT give you washboard abs, you need cardio and strength training as well.
