Popsugar Health & Fitness Home Workouts No-Crunch Ab Workouts on YouTube Are Crunches Straining Your Neck? Try One of These Ab Workouts Instead 15 June 2021 by Emily Weaver Image Source: Getty / skynesher Looking to strengthen and tone your core? Ab workouts are a great way to burn belly fat and build stomach muscle, but let's make one thing clear: we aren't talking about getting down on the floor and cranking out 50 sit ups. While crunches are one of the most basic ab workouts out there, it's really easy to do them incorrectly. For example, pulling your neck and head forward when you're actually supposed to lift them is an easy way to get nothing but serious neck and lower back pain. For this exact reason, no-crunch workouts are a great alternative. They get the job done and you won't walk away from your workout trying to massage the pain away. Here are 11 no-crunch exercise videos to get you started. 1 10 Minutes to a Tighter Core No Crunches Required By POPSUGAR Fitness 1 / 12 2 500 Abs Challenge (No Crunches) by Joanna Soh 2 / 12 3 10-minute Standing Abs Workout by MadFit 3 / 12 4 Easy At-Home Ab Workout Without Crunches by Fitness with Namrata Purohit 4 / 12 5 10 Crunch-Free Abs Exercises by POPSUGAR Fitness 5 / 12 6 15-Minute No Crunches Abs & Core Workout by Adidas Runtastic 6 / 12 7 10-Minute At-Home Abs Workout by Amanda Bisk 7 / 12 8 Standing No-Crunch Abs Workout by Love Sweat Fitness 8 / 12 9 5-Minute No-Crunch Flat Abs Workout by POPSUGAR Fitness 9 / 12 10 Ab Exercises With No Crunches by K's Perfect Fitness TV 10 / 12 11 Ab Exercises With No Sit-Ups or Crunches by LIVESTRONG.COM 11 / 12 12 Standing-Only Abs Workout by MrandMrsMuscle 12 / 12 Home WorkoutsAb WorkoutsWorkoutsAb ExercisesYouTube
