reverse crunch

Hips-to-chest lift

A reverse crunch is an abdominal exercise where you lie on your back and lift your hips off the floor by curling your pelvis toward your chest, rather than curling your chest toward your pelvis as in a standard crunch.

The movement targets the lower portion of the abdominal muscles: I added reverse crunches to my core routine.
