Resistance Band Ab Crunch
The resistance band ab crunch adds progressive resistance to the crunch for greater ab development than bodyweight alone. Anchor the band overhead, hold the ends at your shoulders, and crunch down against the resistance.
How to Perform
Anchor the band above and behind you, kneeling on the floor.
Hold the band at your shoulders or behind your neck.
Crunch your torso down by flexing your spine, pulling your ribs toward your hips.
Squeeze the abs hard at the bottom and return with control.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Hinging at the hips instead of flexing the spine for ab activation.
Pulling with the arms instead of using the abs to crunch down.
Not anchoring the band high enough, which reduces the resistance angle.
