ab crunch
Stomach muscle exercise
An ab crunch is an exercise targeting the abdominal muscles.
You lie on your back with knees bent, then lift your shoulders off the ground by contracting your abs—a shorter range of motion than a full sit-up.
I do fifty ab crunches every morning.
Often shortened to just crunch.
