We all want flatten stomachs with rock hard abs and lets face it, this is not possible with just a few minutes of ab crunches.  Unfortunately, your mid section needs to be trained properly with guidance until you are comfortable to do it on your own.  What I mean by guidance is reviewing the exercises several times before using them routinely. 

Within the Ab Workouts, you will realize that crunches are extremely important.  While you crunch, lie flat on your back and keep your feet flat on the floor.  Then cross your hands on your upper chest, while keeping your head and neck in a stable position.  This exercise will strengthen your muscles and provide rock-hard abs. 

Remember to not place your hands behind your head because this may lead to injuries. 

Another crunch that works great is the reverse crunch exercise.  With this exercise you lie down on your back, preferably on a bench.  Raise the top of the bench up and then bend your knees.  When you are in this position, keep your knees and feet close together to reduce as much movement as possible when performing this exercise. 

Slowly contract your abdomen, while focusing on bringing your pelvis up to your ribs.  Let your abs do all the work and then lower your pelvis into the starting position.  Maintain your constant position without any tension on the abdomen. 

Remember with this exercise you do not want to rush the crunches.  Use proper form to prevent lower back injuries. 

You will find that when you use any of these two crunch exercises, your abdomen will start to get tighter and may have a good pain feeling.  This lets you know that you are on the right track and using the proper form.  You can now have the flat stomach and ripped abs that you have always dreamed about.
