Elastics Kneeling Ab Crunch

Video coming soon...

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.

This added resistance forces the abs to work harder during the crunch movement, maximizing their engagement.

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

Begin by kneeling on a mat or soft surface, with your knees hip-width apart and your toes pointed behind you.
Wrap an elastic band around a sturdy object or secure it under your feet, holding the ends of the band with both hands.
Engage your core muscles by pulling your belly button towards your spine and maintaining a straight back.
Slowly lean your upper body forward, keeping your hips stationary, until your torso is at a 45-degree angle with the floor.
Exhale as you contract your abdominal muscles, pulling your chest towards your thighs while maintaining a straight back.
Inhale as you slowly return to the starting position, keeping tension on the elastic band throughout the movement.
Repeat the crunch for the desired number of repetitions.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
