Prone Position Crunch

I call this particular movement the prone position stomach crunch – because once you establish the prone position you slowly  perform the hip tuck position focusing on fully tucking your hip under and crunching the stomach then slowly relax the position letting your hip naturally unroll itself, and repeating.

Remember that when you perform the hip tuck try not to raise your rear in the air.  The goal is to keep your body in alignment, so when you first start to practice always check back in with your position either by looking at your posture in the mirror or just looking at the position of your hips.  Sometimes we assume that we are performing an exercise one way and in fact we are doing it a totally different way.

This video is a pretty simple exercise, though its focus is on strengthening the abdomen, because you have to use your legs and arms to support your weight  its a great full body work out as well
