Foam Roller Reverse Crunch On Bench is a challenging core exercise that primarily hits your rectus abdominis. It is one of the most effective moves to lose lower belly fat, especially for women.
Instructions
- Lie on your back on top of the bench. Hold the edge of the bench next to your head for support and place a foam roller between your ankles and thighs, squeezing it to hold it in place as you lift your knees 90 degrees.
- Tighten your core muscles and use your abs to lift your hips and knees toward your head, keeping tension on the foam roller at all times. Hold briefly at the top before returning to the starting position.
Tips
- Don't lower your legs too quickly. Use your abs to slowly lower the weight.
- Tighten your abs at the top of the movement.
- Don't let your lower back round.
