How to: Band Kneeling Crunch
- Kneel on the floor and secure the band behind your head.
- Grab the band with both hands and pull it down towards your knees.
- Engage your core and crunch forward at the waist.
- Lower back down slowly to the starting position.
- Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Common Mistakes
- Using momentum instead of muscle control.
- Not fully extending or contracting the torso during the movement.
- Rounding the back instead of maintaining a neutral spine.
Modifications
- Perform with less resistance if the band feels too heavy.
- Do the crunch without the band to focus on form first.
Tips
- Keep your core engaged throughout the movement.
- Avoid pulling on your neck when you crunch up.
- Ensure that your back remains flat to prevent strain.
