Title: Phobia of Crunches
Post by: BlueDevil on September 15, 2007, 04:16:11 AM

I have a phobia of crunches. I know that sounds silly, but I'm always panicing I'm going to injure my neck, my chest, ribs, or something - even if it's entirely impossible, I freak out. If I get any weird sensations in my body, I can really have a panic attack (I had one in the past)... What can I do? I can do other exercises fine, but crunches I'm just *afraid* of!!

Is it possible to do the bicycle exercise without lifting your shoulders / neck, and just lay flat on the floor doing the bicycle motion? Ever since I was a child, I was afraid of doing anything that affected my neck - such as the forward rolls, which I refused to do after a while. i don't know why to be honest.. I just had some kind of idea in my head that it would damage me.

Thanks a lot !

Why the hell would you be afraid of doing crunches? I don't know about you, but i would be more worried about squats or bench than crunches. In fact, pretty much every exercise has more chance of doing some damage rather than crunches.

But really, are you serious??  Scared of crunches??

And I already gave you a good suggestion - hanging leg raises
