EXERCISE: Gym Workouts Aug.28, 2023 - Plank Ab Crunches

-

Hi friends,

Happy to share with you another view of my working on those Plank Ab Crunches with my son. 


It involves hooking my legs onto hanging ropes, with my hand in a resting plank position. Then my legs will crunch up to my abs. It strengthens my core and abs in the process.

Here's the video:

Each set last for 1 minute, then rest for 20 secs. Then repeat 3 more times.

The first time I ever did it, I couldn't keep it up even 2 reps without resting immediately after. My knee surrender easily, and my breathing was heavy. 

But I kept on pushing those baby steps, every time. Now I can carry out the motion without much difficulty. It built up my core and my abs.

I'm proud to be doing it with and setting up an example for my son.

Thanks for your attention.

Gary

It primarily targets your pectoral muscles but also works your triceps and shoulders . However, to ensure equal growth in all three areas, you must vary your grip width.
