Bodyweight Exercise: Reaching Crunch

The reaching crunch is a lot like the standard crunch, but it uses a more explosive movement with a greater range of motion. This gives the workout more of an impact.

Step 1: Lie on your back with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor, like a regular crunch. Hands are stretched out behind head.

Step 2: Contract your abs and crunch forward with power, extending your arms out and up.

Come back down slowly. Repeat.
