Exercising is important to stay healthy and have a strong body. Many people choose to exercise by doing stretches and crunches. To properly do stretches and crunches, follow these three steps.

1st
Step

Stretching
Before doing any crunching, it is important to first stretch your muscles so you do not strain them

2nd
Step

Crunches
Begin by lying on your back with your knees bent and feet flat on the ground. Place your hands behind your head and curl your chin towards your chest. From here, lift your shoulders off the ground and towards your knees, keeping your lower back pressed firmly into the ground.

3rd
Step

Return to starting position and repeat
slowly lower yourself back down to the starting position and then repeat the process. Remember to breathe throughout the exercise and to focus on using your abs, rather than your hips or neck, to do the work. After completing a set of crunches, be sure to stretch again so that you do not strain your muscles.
