Heel Toe Crunches Benefits

You want to be sure at all times that you're not exerting pressure on the neck and head so as to cause the chin to curl toward the chest.

Always support the neck and keep the eyes focused on the ceiling.

Maintain the sucked in tummy and keep the hips squeezed together throughout the exercise.

Discontinue this exercise when unable to maintain proper form any longer. Without proper form, this exercise becomes both unsafe and ineffective.
