How to: Bench Reverse Crunch Circle
- Lie on your back on a bench with your legs hanging off the edge.
- Join your legs together and lift your knees towards your chest.
- As you curl your hips up, perform a circular motion with your legs.
- Return to the starting position and repeat the motion.
Common Mistakes
- Lifting your hips too high, which can strain your lower back.
- Using momentum rather than controlled movements.
Modifications
- Perform without the circular motion for a simpler version.
- Use a stability ball under the lower back for added support.
Tips
- Focus on controlling your movements to engage your core effectively.
- Ensure your lower back stays in contact with the bench during the exercise.
