How to: Suspender Crunch
- Set up the suspension straps so they are at an appropriate height.
- Lie on your back with your feet secured in the straps.
- Engage your core and with your hands behind your head, lift your upper body towards your knees.
- Pause at the top of the movement, then slowly lower back to the starting position.
- Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Common Mistakes
- Pulling on the head or neck.
- Arching the back instead of rolling up.
- Not fully engaging the core during the lift.
Modifications
- Perform with knees bent if full leg extension causes strain.
- Use a stability ball to support your back for added safety.
Tips
- Engage the core throughout the movement.
- Avoid pulling on your neck; keep hands lightly placed behind your head.
- Focus on controlled movements rather than speed.
