How to: Band standing crunch
- Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and hold the band anchored under your feet.
- Hold the other end of the band at your shoulders with elbows bent.
- Engage your core and perform a crunch by lifting your torso towards your knees.
- Lower back to the starting position and repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Common Mistakes
- Using momentum rather than controlled movement.
- Not maintaining proper alignment; avoid arching the back.
- Pulling on the head or neck instead of using the core.
Modifications
- Perform without a band for lower intensity.
- Reduce the range of motion if full crunch is challenging.
Tips
- Keep your core engaged throughout the movement.
- Avoid pulling with your neck; let your abs do the work.
- Start with lighter band resistance if you're new to this exercise.
