You can effectively work your abs without doing crunches. In a previous post, I talked about why you might want to avoid crunches. While you may not completely ditch your crunches, it’s certainly worth looking at what other exercises you can do.
There are, of course, planks. I’ve written before about how forearm planks in particular zero in on abdominal strength. However, planks aren’t your only option.
The five-minute ab workout below moves you through several plank variations and three other exercises to give you a short but comprehensive ab workout with no crunches. Do it once to get the moves down and then repeat to master it and get the full benefits.
Stay fit!
