Traditional floor crunches are great, but if you’re looking for something to make them a bit more intense the alternating abdominal kick is just what you need! This exercise is going to work your entire rectus abdominis and because you’re keeping your feet up off the ground you will be putting more emphasis on your lower abs. Alternating your legs with each repetition will also cause you to be a bit off-balance which will help to engage your obliques as well.
For your next abdominal workout, whether at home or at the gym, see if you can manage 4 sets of 20 reps (PER SIDE) with this exercise. They start of easy, but by the 8th or 9th rep... you will quickly learn why they are so effective! #HTH #SHFAthlete
