How to: Band Standing Crunch
- Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding a resistance band anchored behind you.
- With both hands, grasp the band and pull it down while bending your torso forward as you descend.
- Focus on using your abdominal muscles to perform the crunch.
- Hold briefly at the bottom, then return to the starting position and repeat.
Common Mistakes
- Leaning back excessively while crunching.
- Using momentum instead of muscle power.
- Not properly engaging your core.
Modifications
- Perform without a band for beginners.
- Reduce the range of motion when starting.
- Perform seated to reduce strain on the back.
Tips
- Ensure your core stays engaged throughout the movement.
- Keep your movements slow and controlled to maximize effectiveness.
- Avoid pulling on the band too much to prevent strain.
