Move of the week: weighted crunches build an even stronger core

By Chloe Gray

3 years ago

Welcome to our weekly Move of the Week series. Every Monday, we’ll be sharing with you one of our favourite exercises – how to do them, what muscles they work and why they should be a regular part of your workout regime. This week: weighted crunches. 

If you’ve been doing the same circuit of ab exercises every week for months on end, your workout probably needs a makeover. And how about adding weights to some of the classic moves? 

Don’t be scared. Crunches alone are tough and with weights, they’re even harder. But the benefits you get from adding extra resistance to the infamous ab workout far outweigh the fear of trying.
