Are Ab crunches a good exercise?

So....are crunches good for you?
My answer is, "Only if you live most of your life curled up in a ball?"
I mean come on....how many of us want to brag that we can turn ourselves into a potato bug?

Now, are crunches bad? Not really!

Not everyone can do a full sit-up....yet!

Properly trained, anyone can perform a normal sit-up. It is just a matter of coaching, determination, and effort!

Our athletes performed a very challenging "core" workout today and not a single person did a crunch!!

WOD
10 Broomstick Lunges
10 Knee to Elbow
10 Push-up
10 Wall Ball

***AMRAP in 18 minutes***
