"Learning challenge s23w5: "I Love My Body /Sit-up/Reverse Crunch ".

Salutations,dear fitness friends, i'm so grateful and thrilled to see myself gone through this fantastic learning challenge exercise program from Week 1 to this Week 5. Looking back for all of this in Week 1, I could remember how it was for what was in store through the week. Week 2 was an even more challenging series of exercises to work my attention and balance. I was sweating during Week 3 performing jump squats, side squats, and lunges, and I hit a whole other level of strength and toughness by Week 4.

This Week 5 is all about sit-ups and reverse crunches—two of the most important exercises in building up the core that makes up the foundation of any healthy and strong body. This week is a lot of fun because strong core is the key to nearly all the movements I perform,six pack stomach building is the fruit of hard work of core exercise. Standing up, bending, or picking something heavy, a strong core will stabilize and support our whole body. Lets check how week 5 lesson will go.

Sit-Ups Excersice

Sit-ups are a standard exercise that always as benefits. Sit-ups work on the "six-pack" muscles and strengthen our core. Sit-ups also align our posture and make simple daily activities such as sitting and standing simple. Here's how I performed them:

• I was lying flat on my back with bent knees and feet flat on the ground. My hands were placed lightly on the sides of my head.

• I activated my core muscles and lifted my top portion of my body up off the floor, towards my knees.

• I slowly returned to the original position without jerking and losing control.

Reverse Crunch Exercises

Reverse crunch is a quite different test for excersices. They did not hit my upper abs like sit-ups, but hit the lower portion of my abs, something which I had not trained as much on before.Reverse crunches are excellent exercises for developing lower abs and for enhancing core stability. They enhance flexibility and lower back pain reduction. Here is how I performed it:

• I flexed my knees and raised my feet off the ground and was lying on my back. I placed my hands on the ground next to me as a support point.

• I used my lower abs to bring my hips up from the floor, drawing in my knees to my chest.

• I sustained the movement, flexing my hips down towards the floor without placing my feet on the floor, and in position 90 angle.
