#Info – Long Arm Crunch
The Long Arm Crunch targets the upper abdominal muscles. Common mistakes include pulling the neck or using momentum instead of engaging the core. To avoid this, focus on a slow, controlled movement and keep your arms extended without straining your neck. For beginners, keep feet on the floor; advanced users can elevate legs at 90 degrees for added intensity. Ensure your lower back stays on the ground to prevent strain. Incorporate this exercise into your routine for core strengthening and improved posture, adjusting the number of repetitions to match your fitness level.
