How To: Do a resistance band crunching exercise while kneeling

Here is a unique way to train the abs. The resistance band crunch is ideal for abdominal strength and endurance. It is safe and easy to do. This version of the resistance band crunch is done from a kneeling position. An exercise mat is recommended.

First, loop the resistance bands over any stationary object. Ensure the bands are anchored high enough to provide resistance. From a kneeling position, place the resistance band handles against the forehead area. Next, crunch the abs. The elbows should move toward the middle of the thighs. Exhale as you contract the abs. As you perform the crunch, try to keep the hips still.

Step 1
Loop resistance bands around stationary object. Kneel down, bands on forehead.

Step 2
Crunch abs by moving elbows toward thighs. Keep hips still. Exhale.

Step 3
Slowly return to the starting position and repeat.
