stomach crunches

Abdominal workout move

Stomach crunches are an abdominal exercise performed by lying on your back with knees bent and lifting your shoulders toward your hips, contracting the stomach muscles.

Unlike full sit-ups, crunches involve a smaller range of motion: I do fifty stomach crunches every morning.

Often shortened to just crunches.
