Guys dont do this exercise.. I did it yesterday and my lower back is killing me!!!
I am sure that you will find good way to learn on workouts Unflexal handbooks.
Hi Livestrong, can i share this video for my thesis? thanks before:)
hey Jeff can diastasis recti be corrected thru exercise, can you do a video on this
One thing that allot of people forget to mention which should be obvious but in allot of ways is not.. remember to BREATHE!!!!!! while contracting your abdominal muscles.
Isn’t these leg raises or are they called reverse crunches too?
My mind says It is very easy to do but but my soul says Waaah! very hard
you’re amazing and beautiful keep it up and thanks for the video
I think this is one of the most useful videos. It adresses a common problem which I also have.
Thanks!!! The videos helped alot. So far my vert has improved by 10.5 inches.JUMPHIGHERPROGRAM.COMUV.COM
Now I don’t know much about vertical leg crunch abdominal exercises. But i do know one thing, that’s one class A ass….well lets say B+…
HOW THE FUCK DO YOU GET YOUR LEGS UP STRAIGHT!!!??!!
NANI!!?
OMAE WA MOU SHINDEIRU!!??
honestly how the fuck smh
I feel some abs pain, but also leg and lower back pain. I don’t know why. My posture should be good. I’m doing just lik you. Any advice?
Probably one of the few that actually does exercises correctly. Good job. Nothing annoys me more than “trainers” showing the rest of the world who doesn’t know any better, exercises down wrong. Good stuff Jeff
I have been watching this channel for a long time,but in Spanish, and this is the first time I ear the real Jeff voice lol
my legs start to shake after like 15 repeats
also is it okay if i do it on the bed?
… and trying to keep out of the contortionization phase, that leads to the agonization phase making you wind up in the bozo-ization phase…
Huh having your legs straight doesn’t make them heavier, legs that weight 50lbs will always weight 50lbs, folded or not What changes is the bending moment on the joint created by the force of the legs’ weight. This bending moment is greater the further away the center of mass is from the joint, that’s why it’s harder to do the exercise if your legs are straight, because the legs’ center of mass will be further away from the pelvis so you’ll have to counter a greater moment. The opposite reasoning would be to think about opening a door pushing the door knob or pushing near the hinges. It’s way harder near the hinges because you’d have to create the same moment at close range (hinges) as you would at longe range (knob), meaning the force would have to be greater.
Question, when I do leg lifts, I have some discomfort in my lower back at first, then after 3 or 4 reps it becomes a sharper pain. How can I fix this? I’m new to doing core exercises.
Man I’m lucky I can do anything man but 4am to 4pm with helping my nephew out in school still and 4 to 4 its k for now I’m trying.
A joint in one of my hip flexors hurts when I let my legs descend. It feels like I’m cracking my joint just trying to lower it, it feels stuck. Anyone got some advice? Should I ignore this and just perform the exercise, or look for an alternative?
Your videos are amazing! Do you happen to have an app like “Home Workout” to reach out to more people? Many of us struggle to find the right set of exercises for our intended goals. I know it doesn’t substitute a good coach but they are also not common to find, let’s say. A dedicated app is the next move for a guy like you.
I’ve heard this exercise is not very good for your lower back… I’ve got a bit of an iffy lower back from sitting too much… don’t want to worsen it. What do you think? Is this exercise ok?
how the fuck do you get your legs straight up?!???
NANI!!!!!!
OMAE WA MOU SHINDEIRU
I can’t seem to do heels to the heavens without bending my knees, any suggestions?
My wrist hurt when I’m doing it, is that normal? It’s very painful
I’m so proud of myself. I was doing something right before Jeff even told me.
Does anyone have air get into their “bumm” when raising their legs? I feel embarrassed having it every time I raise both my legs. I used to have this doing jumping jacks but it faded away as soon as I controlled my breathing.
I’ve got a bit of a curve in my lower back. Doing this exercise really kills and hurts my back. Any tips? Thanks!
My coach called them negatives.
But I’ve done this way, and my coach had us do it where we bend our knees coming up, shoot up, and then come back down with straight legs. And we alternate a straight shoot, and a twist towards each side, per rep.
Whenever I try to do a reverse crunch it feels like I’m training my arms and legs more then my abs so clearly I’m not doing it properly. What should I do?
Thanks so much jeff for.this tutorial now i know the right way how to perform reverse crum godbless sir jeff pray always to jesus and keep safe
Jeff, I really love your videos. Only if you could lower your voice an octave and a few thirds and slow down your tempo a bit… ’cause it’s still ringing in my ears.
So this is like combining Bottop-ups and Leg raises in one exercise, isn’t it?
I wish I saw this a year and a half ago. I literally used to do 250 strict leg raises In one set every day. I got moderate results but started getting lower back problem as a result of the hip Federer being over worked. I found YouTube and and do 1-3 videos 5-6 times a week along with long planks and got great results.
“Effort is everything.” I think I may have found my new mantra. Thanks, Jeff..
This looks like it works great but is it safe for someone with a herniated lumbar disc?
thank you sooooooooooo much!
have been doing it wrong and it hurts my lower back..
I can’t bring my legs all the way down without a popping sound in my lower back. So I always bring them down to the midway point.
2:09 the explanation here is wrong, it felt heavier because of the principle of leverage
I get a very annoying, though not painful, pop in my right hip when I do this with my legs together. If I separate them a bit, it goes away. Any fix for this?
I always feel ab exercises in my upper abs. Only my upper abs, for every single workout. How could i fix this?
My dream is to become the female version of you! You are so helpful, your videos have changed my life. Studying for NASM CPT now, because of you. THANK YOU.
Making so much sense I found myself subscribing within a minute of watching
The first 2 of these are done by the hip flexors, with the abs only working as stabilizers. The 3rd one is a good ab exercise
I can’t keep my legs strait. My legs are super long so I have much more weight to move.
These don’t work! They don’t do anything and you keep sliding down whenever you do them! Fuck this shit!
Ive noticed the hardest part about working out is also the most crucial part of working out and that is feeling the pain in the muscle of the exercise because the pain is your muscles tearing which will cause them to grow back bigger
I like your videos man, but you talk a lot.. and why do you spend so much time telling us how it’s done wrong, just concentrate on doing it right.
Jeff, can you do a video on the best way to condition the oblique muscles? At your convenience of course?
i used to have a keg now i finally weigh 195 and from 255. Cant wait till i finally have visible abs so i could lure the ladies cause they like 6 packs not kegs. Kegs just at parties:[.
I bend my knees because my hips are too tight and that’s what I got from Jeremy Ethier. I’m a fan of both channels, btw.
My problem is i simply can’t straighten my legs completely. I guess it’s a flexibility problem.
How can someone, just how can you be ripped and 0 body fat 24X7X36 for years. Must take discipline dedication, self control. I guess Jeff has to do it to stay relevant but still hats off to this guy.
Looks and feels like it works all of the abs and not just the lower abs.
Should the knees of both legs have to meet or di not meet? please reply
What if I bend my legs slighty, I feel my abs more if I bend my legs a bit, I don’t shorten them, but if I do it straight, I feel weird, I don’t feel it as much. I try to use the least amount of momentum When I keep them straight.
What are we missing out on if we exclude the upward push at vertical?
This is close to what I have my clients perform, but the exercise that I have them do takes a way more muscular control. I’m helping them to develop the complete mind-muscle connection and I want them to really feel what I’m talking about. But you’re right, working the core (when done correctly) can be done in so many ways.
How to get abs
100 sit ups, 100 push ups, and 100 squats + a 10 km run.
Repeat until your bald.
My back always makes popping noises when I do these and the v sits… doesn’t hurt but scares me
@Phavitra there is nothing that targets belly fat. Your body chooses where it takes it fat for energy
I get pain at my infraspinatus/teres minor insertion when I perform reverse crunches. Can you give me some advice regarding strengthening/counteracting this issue?
How can I make my legs stay straight whilst raising them? When I try, I feel that my legs starts failing its motions
does anyone else not have the ability to make there legs straight to do this:L
I’m not able to keep my lower back pressing the floor. I try not to arch the back, but is impossible, I cannot. Any advise?
My hamstrings are tight so I can’t make my legs go straight up
You’re great with explaining with ease and understanding, yet with all the knowledge we need to know. Plus, the visuals) examples. Awesome. Thanks a lot!! Learned so much
Do i have to use my abs and hips area only to get my ass up or do i have to apply the force of my hands too?
yes. if you do sit ups and this exercise you will notice the difference
@phavitra Unfortunately, we can’t target-burn fat in specific areas. Instead, aim to reduce overall body fat, and eventually the fat in the middle region will reduce. Some of us store more fat in the belly than others, but we can’t control which areas will lose fat first. Calculate the amount of caloric debt needed to lose between 1/2 to 1 pound of body fat per week and engage in physical activity 3-7 times per week to prevent losing lean mass (muscle).
@phavitra This works the rectus abdominus and helps strengthen your core muscles. This exercise will not help you loss a lot of omental fat. To loss omental (or central) fat, you should do a minimum of 30 minutes of cardio a day and eating foods that are low in unsaturated fats and trans fats and high in protein as well as low to moderate amounts of carbohydrates (depending of how much exercise you do in a day).
