The first that comes to mind when one have protruding issue is to start crunching, you are on the right path. Although crunches by themselves will not burn abdominal fat but they will strengthen your core, burn intramuscular fat, and help you build lean calorie-burning muscle. If you need an exercise that particularly targets the lower and transverse abdomen, try the reverse crunch.
Good thing about reverse crunch is that it places less strain on your back and neck than a regular crunch.
How To:
- Lie on your back with your feet off the floor, knees bent, and ankles together. Bring your upper quads inward and onto your tummy so that you don't swing your legs to gather momentum during the movement.
- Relax your head, neck, and shoulders, resting them on the floor. Rest your arms at your sides, palms facing down on the floor. Raise your pelvis off the floor, and curl it toward your rib. Make sure to exhale fully while you are crunching so o as to maximize the contraction.
- Repeat the moves 10 times for 3 sets
- If you really want a challenge, hold your arms out at your sides and several inches off the floor. This helps to further isolate your abs, stopping your arms from assisting in the crunch by pressing off the floor with your hands.
*** I will start a new post, "Challenge of the week" similar to "Exercise of the week" it involves performing two exercises at same and I might post these to topics interchangeably***
