Wheelchair Exercises: Crunches Video

The audio of this video seems to be a bit low. Turn up those speakers, or just watch without sound.

This video demonstrates a method I use to get a bit more out of crunches. It's a very simple method and can be used by just about anyone. If you want to add even more resistance during the exercise, consider holding a light weight against your chest while doing the crunches.

Good luck and I hope you enjoy the video!

Please note that I am not a personal trainer and am unable to be responsible for any injury incurred by watching or practicing the techniques in these videos. Thank you for understanding.

volc0m101: would this be benificial for me, being a T-5 complete? aka, no ab muscles at all.

WheelchairSparks: @volc0m101 This might be a little controversial, but I feel this exercise working muscles below my point of injury. For example, I cannot feel anything below my navel, yet when I do this exercise and place my hand on my abdomen below the navel, I can tell that those muscles are contracting. So, I am not sure how much this would help you, but if you can perform it safely I think it will definitely provide an increased core strength which will help provide additional trunk support. Make sense?
