The two most common exercises for the stomach area are crunches (sit-ups) and the plank. What if you could you just 1 exercise that incorporated the benefits of both all into one? This would double the effectiveness of your workout half the time!

This exercise is called the Spiderman Crunch. 

Position: Rest on your hands and feet, facing the floor and with your body raised up.

 Technique:  Alternately draw one knee up towards the same shoulder, crunching through the stomach. Squeeze it as high as possible.

Points to Remember: Keep your hips down and back flat. The further you slide your legs back the more difficult it becomes.

If the above if really difficult for you, don’t panic, just do 2 reps at a time resting in between before attempting any more.

As you will notice from the above description you are holding a straight-arm plank as well as crunching your knee up using your abs. This means you are getting the best of both exercises. It’s really important that you engage your stomach muscles as you crunch the knee up towards your hand.

Today’s Takeaway - The more muscles you can work in each exercise the more fat you burn. The Spiderman Crunch is a prime example of this.
