2. With hips lifted off the floor and your shoulders in line with your wrists, begin to bend your arms and lower your body into a standard "pushup motion".
3. As you re-extend your arms and lift the body from the push up, "crunch" your knees to your chest.

High Plank Super Crunch
High Plank Super Crunch
Min. Fitness Level
Similar to the Low Plank Crunch, this variation starts in a High Plank Position with Coreboard placed firmly under your shins.
HOW TO DO IT
1. Begin by bringing your knees in towards your chest, then re-extend your legs behind you.
2. To super charge this exercise, keep pushing the roller away from your hands after your crunch, while keeping your arms extended, the body off the ground and in one line.
3. Since you are on your hands instead of forearms, you will be able to roll back even further, deepening your plank and challenging your Lower Ab activation.
4. Do 3 Sets of 10 with no more than 15 Second Breaks in between.
PRO TIP:
Look through your body and make sure to keep Coreboard perfectly level for the entire set.
