- Hey again, Today I’ll be introducing the second easy home Fitness Test… The perfect measure for the abdominal strength and endurance… The Crunch…
Not to be mistaken for a sit-up, a crunch is a different story… Not really very different, A crunch just can be considered a safer alternative for the sit-up… The noticeable difference is that in a crunch your lower back mustn’t leave the ground… and just like the first test… The Crunch test must be done in one minute
