Hi, I'm Rick Coe. Today, I'm going to show you how to do frog crunches. So if you are looking for a way to train your abdominal muscles while at the same time getting a little more work on your hip flexors, the frog crunch is the way to go. A frog crunch is performed on the floor from a lying position. The first thing you want to do, get into a lying position and bring your feet a little bit inward, let your knees go out so that you are making a diamond pattern with your legs. One of the things you always want to be mindful for anytime you are doing crunches is never clasp your hands behind your head. Doing so is just going to allow you the opportunity for pulling on your head thereby causing strain in your neck. You're going to place your hands up by your ears, your head slightly off the floor or the mat if you are using one and then you are going to crunch and meet your knees just above your belly button.
