Suspended Reverse Crunch
A core exercise that engages abdominal muscles by lifting the hips and legs upward.
Instructions
- Anchor suspension straps securely above and adjust them to hang around knee height.
- Lie on your back and place your heels in the cradles of the straps, keeping your legs extended.
- Place your arms at your sides or overhead for stability.
- Engage your core and lift your hips off the ground, bringing your knees towards your chest.
- Lower hips back down in a controlled movement without touching the ground.
- Repeat for desired number of reps.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Not engaging the core properly, leading to strain on the lower back.
- Using momentum to swing legs instead of controlled muscle engagement.
- Letting the straps pull legs off track instead of keeping them aligned.
- Not maintaining a steady breathing pattern throughout the exercise.
