Easy Exercises to Improve Digestion

9. Reverse Crunches

Core conditioning strengthens muscles in the back and abdomen, which can reduce back pain, improve physical performance, and aid digestion. Reverse crunches are a core exercise that places less pressure on the spine than traditional crunches.

Lay on the back with hands pressed to the sides, feet crossed and off the floor, and knees bent. Tighten the abdominal muscles and raise the knees and hips towards the rib cage. Hold for a second or two, then slowly lower the hips back to the floor.
