New school crunches isolate the abdominals safely, and protect the back, since the lower back stays on the floor at all times.


Take care of that back!

Great post Koffee, but what the heck is "crunches"?

Can you or someone else explain that to me. Is it to lift the upper body just enough to feel the weight but never so much that the lower back leaves the floor?

Pardon my limited vocabulary.
