Thread: How do you say "crunch" (the exercise) in russian

Usually performing that is called "качать пресс". But actually it refers to any kind of "abdominal exercises". If there is a specific term for it in Russian, it doesn't seem to be widely known.

Does скручивание likewise imply any kind of abdominal exercise? Or is the term not widely known?
