Crunches are an overused and under productive exercise,
says John Barban, CSCS, and strength coach from GrrlAthlete.
Ab crunches present a considerable risk to the health of your lower
back and spine and only work a limited range of your core
muscles.
They never have and never will burn fat off of our 'stomach' or
midsection and if you do enough of them they will simply
cause you to grow bigger and stronger abs muscles without
working your lower back and oblique muscles.
Doing excessive amounts of crunches could very well lead to
imbalanced abs and core development as well as potential
lower back and spine pain and problems.
Instead of doing crunches, I've outline 5 exercises that work
your abs and core in better, safer and more balanced
positions than any crunch can.
