Dumbbell Crunch, Weighted
How to Do
How to Do Dumbbell Crunch, Weighted
The dumbbell crunch weighted should begin with good posture to avoid injury. Brace the spine by drawing your lower abdomen inward. Your core muscles should be activated to support your posture as you perform the exercise.
If any pain is experienced, immediately stop the dumbbell crunch weighted.
Beginning
Beginning Weighted Crunches With Dumbbell
1. Lay supine with your knees bent in a relaxed position.
2. Hold a weight plate immediately in front of your chest and extend it.
3. Raise your knees to 90 degrees so that they are perpendicular to the floor.
4. As you reach for your toes with the weight plate, exhale.
5. Slowly lower yourself back to the beginning position once your abs are fully tightened and your upper back is off the floor.
Movement
Weighted Crunches With Dumbbell Movement
1. Start off by laying on the ground, flat on your back.
2. Your feet will be flat on the ground with your legs bent at the knee.
3. You will be holding a dumbbell straight across your chest with both arms.
4. From this position, roll forward slowly and engage your abs until you can't come off the ground any farther.
5. Maintain control throughout the movement and do not rush it. Reverse back down to the starting position.
6. Repeat.

Not only does it improve muscular definition, but it also improves abdominal strength.
