This video is great to really learn the basic crunch and reverse crunch. I do crunches a lot but I never know if I'm doing the right form or posture. This video really teaches you the right way to do a crunch.

I've never heard of touch training before but it seems like it really works. I bought this video as well the other abs videos by Derek and I'm doing it 3-4 times a week. It's great to have on my computer and I also downloaded it to my iPhone. I'm probably going to buy some more videos on leg squats and put that on my phone as well so I can take it to the gym. Very easy exercises to get a workout at home.
