Engage your core, and slowly bend at your waist while pulling the band down towards your knees.
Keep your arms straight throughout the movement and focus on using your abdominal muscles to pull the band down.
Pause for a moment at the bottom of the movement, feeling the contraction in your abs.
Slowly return to the starting position and repeat the exercise for the desired number of repetitions.
Pro Tip
**Correct Posture**: Stand tall with your feet shoulder-width apart. Hold the resistance band behind you, with your hands by your ears. Your elbows should be pointing outwards. A common mistake is bending the neck forward excessively, which can lead to strain. Keep your neck neutral, in line with your spine, and focus on using your abs to perform the crunch. **Controlled Movement**: The key to this exercise is control. As you crunch down, exhale and contract your abs, pulling the band down in front of you. Avoid the mistake of using momentum to perform the movement. The control should come from your core, not from your arms or shoulders. **Full Range of Motion**: For maximum effectiveness, make sure
