Instructions

1. Begin by securing your feet into the handles of the suspension straps so that you are in a supine (face-up) position with your head towards the floor and your feet suspended above.

2. Position your body in a straight line from your shoulders to your heels, with your hands placed firmly on the ground for support, slightly behind your torso.

3. Engage your core muscles and ensure your lower back is in a neutral position to protect your spine.

4. Initiate the movement by performing a crunch: draw your knees towards your chest, bending at the waist and keeping your core tight.

5. As you crunch, ensure that your lower back remains pressed into the ground and your head and neck are in a neutral position.

6. Extend your legs back out to the starting position, maintaining control throughout the movement and not allowing your hips to sag.

7. Repeat the crunch motion for the desired number of repetitions, focusing on form and the contraction of your abdominal muscles.

Ensure to perform this exercise in a slow and controlled manner to maximize core engagement and prevent any swinging or momentum that could reduce the effectiveness of the workout. Adjust the difficulty of the exercise by changing the angle of your body relative to the ground; the closer you are to a horizontal position, the more challenging the exercise becomes.
