Band Kneeling Twisting Crunch
Kneeling below a band anchored overhead, crunch down and across, one elbow toward the opposite knee; the band resists the curl.
How to do it
Setup
Kneeling facing a high anchor, the band's ends held at the temples, hips over the knees.
Steps
- Crunch down and turn one elbow toward the opposite knee.
- Keep the hips over the knees; only the spine curls and turns.
- Rise back up and alternate the side.
Common mistakes
Sitting back onto the heels: the hips stay stacked over the knees. Pulling the band with the arms: the hands stay fixed at the head. Twisting before curling: curl down first, then turn.
Breathing
Exhale on each twist, inhale returning.
