Exercises for Gamers: Abdominal Crunch, Feet Supported

By , PT, DPT, OCS, CSCS··Updated

Quick answer

Feet-supported crunches strengthen the abdominals, which are often weak from sitting with the lower back arched. Lie on your back with your legs resting on your chair, then bend forward from your trunk to sit up. If a full sit-up is hard, do a partial movement with your hands behind your head.

The post suggests 3 sets of 10 repetitions.
