Benefits
Crunches with a Low Push Benefits
Builds your core, improves balance and posture.
Crunches are a great way to gain muscular mass. Unlike sit ups, however, they exclusively work the abdominal muscles. They're a popular exercise for folks seeking to acquire six-pack abs because of the intense muscle isolation. They're also great for strengthening your core, which includes your obliques and lower back muscles.
