Foam Roller Reverse Crunch With Dumbbell
Foam Roller Reverse Crunch with Dumbbell is a challenging core exercise that primarily hits your rectus abdominis, lower back, and hip flexor; when you use the foam roller in this exercise, your abs contract and force more muscles to activate.
Instructions
- Lie on the floor with a foam roller supported at 90 degrees with your knees bent and a heavy dumbbell over your head. Grab the dumbbell heads at the sides for support. This is your starting position.
- Prepare your core and lift your hips and knees toward your head, keeping tension on the foam roller at all times. Hold briefly at the top before lowering back to the ground.
Tips
- Don't go down too fast. Lowering should be slow and controlled.
- Make sure that your shoulders do not come off the floor.
