Get ready to crunch into April! Spring is springin’ out there and before we know it, beach season will be upon us. Let’s work those abs and whittle that middle in time for Memorial Day! If that sounds good to you, just remember these two things:

1. Crunches are only effective with proper form. Slow down and think consciously about the ab muscles working on each and every rep. Keep the lower back flat on the floor, pull the belly button in, and use the abs, not the arms or the neck, to lift you straight up, shoulders off the ground.

2. Abs are made in the kitchen. Crunches will strengthen the muscles, but in order for those muscles to show, a healthy diet and fat-burning exercise are a must! (that means more carrots and less chocolate bunnies.)

Now that we’ve established that, let’s get ready to feel the burn this April. Just print, pin, or save this calendar and get your crunch on all month long!

One Healthy Breakdown: it’s crunch time, think beach + bikinis!
