Precautions and Tips for Ab Crunch

The hands at the back of your head should not be used to lift your upper body off the ground. This causes neck strain and even injury. If you notice you are doing this place your hands across your chest.

Exhale hard when starting and hold the contraction for a second to make it more effective.

In case you notice discomfort or pain in lower back choose some other exercises.
