How to: Suspender Supine Crunch
- Secure your feet in the suspension straps and lay back on the ground.
- With your knees bent and feet off the ground, engage your core and lift your upper body towards your knees.
- Pause for a moment at the top of the movement, then lower back down with control.
- Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Common Mistakes
- Using momentum to lift rather than engaging the core.
- Not lowering back down completely, which can lead to strain.
- Pulling on the straps with the arms instead of using the core.
Modifications
- Perform the crunch without suspension straps for added support.
- Bend the knees to reduce the intensity of the exercise.
Tips
- Keep your lower back pressed into the ground during the exercise.
- Move slowly to maintain control and focus on the muscle contraction.
- Ensure your suspension bands are secure before starting.
