About this exercise

The Weighted Seated Tuck Crunch on Floor is a seated abdominal exercise that combines a tuck (knee draw) with an upper-body crunch while holding a weight plate. Performed on the floor, the added resistance increases the challenge to the rectus abdominis throughout the movement.

How to Perform

  • Sit on the floor with knees bent and feet slightly raised off the ground
  • Hold a weight plate at your chest with both hands
  • Lean back slightly to engage the core while keeping your spine neutral
  • Pull your knees toward your chest while crunching your upper body forward
  • Squeeze the abs at the fully contracted position
  • Slowly extend back to the starting position without letting your feet touch the floor
