Suspension Trainer Side Crunch High Instructions

  1. Attach the suspension trainer to a secure anchor point above head height.
  2. Stand facing the anchor point, holding the handles with an overhand grip.
  3. Step back to create tension in the straps, keeping your feet shoulder-width apart.
  4. Engage your core and lean to one side, bringing your elbow towards your hip.
  5. Pause briefly at the bottom of the movement, feeling the contraction in your obliques.
  6. Return to the starting position by straightening your torso and repeating the movement on the other side.
  7. Continue alternating sides for the desired number of repetitions.

Suspension Trainer Side Crunch High Tips

  1. Focus on maintaining a strong and stable core throughout the exercise. Engage your abdominal muscles by pulling your belly button towards your spine, creating a solid foundation for the movement.
  2. Start by adjusting the suspension trainer handles to a height that allows your arms to be fully extended when you hold them. This will ensure proper alignment and optimal engagement of your obliques.
  3. As you lift your legs towards your chest, exhale and contract your obliques, imagining that you are bringing your ribcage closer to your hip bones. This will intensify the activation of your side abdominal muscles.
  4. Keep your movements slow and controlled to maximize the effectiveness of the exercise. Rushing through the motion can lead to poor form and reduced engagement of the obliques.
  5. Remember to listen to your body and start with a level of difficulty that suits your fitness level. As you progress, gradually increase the challenge by adjusting the angle of your body or adding resistance. Consistency and patience are key to seeing improvement in your form and strength.
