Exercise Description

Band crunch builds stronger abs using resistance from the band. It makes regular crunches harder and helps you build a solid core.

How To

1. Anchor the band above your head and grab both handles while lying down 2. Pull your hands toward your knees as you lift your shoulders off the ground for the band crunch movement 3. Squeeze your abs tight at the top and hold for one second 4. Lower your shoulders back down slowly while keeping tension on the band crunch 5. Reset your position and repeat for the desired number of reps

Form Tips

• Keep your lower back pressed against the floor during each band crunch rep • Pull with your abs, not your arms - let your core do the work • Move slowly and control the band tension throughout the entire band crunch movement • Keep your chin slightly tucked and eyes looking up at the ceiling

Common Mistakes

• Pulling too hard with your arms instead of using your abs during the band crunch • Moving too fast and losing control of the resistance band • Letting your lower back arch off the ground during the band crunch movement
