Exercise Profile

Elastics Kneeling Ab Crunch Overview

The elastics kneeling ab crunch is a targeted workout that primarily engages the abdominal muscles.

By attaching the elastics to a stable anchor and holding the handles, the resistance is increased.

While the workout may also involve other muscles, its main focus is on strengthening and toning the abs.

Elastics Kneeling Ab Crunch Tips

  1. Make sure to anchor the elastic securely to a stable object, such as a heavy piece of furniture or a sturdy post. This will ensure that the elastic remains in place throughout the exercise, allowing you to focus on engaging your abs without any distractions.
  2. Begin by kneeling on a soft surface, such as a yoga mat or a cushion, to provide support and protect your knees. This will allow you to maintain proper form and prevent any discomfort or potential injuries.
  3. Position yourself with your knees hip-width apart and your feet flat on the ground. This stance will provide a stable base and help you maintain balance as you perform the ab crunches.
  4. Engage your core by drawing your belly button towards your spine. This will activate your abdominal muscles and help you maintain stability throughout the exercise. Remember to breathe steadily and avoid holding your breath.
  5. As you crunch forward, focus on using your abs to initiate the movement. Avoid relying on momentum or pulling with your arms. Slowly and controlled, exhale as you contract your abs and bring your chest towards your thighs. Inhale as you return to the starting position, maintaining tension on the elastic throughout the entire range of motion.
