Equipment
Secure your feet under the pad and grasp the handles on the sides to keep your body stable.
Extend your legs straight out in front of you using your quadriceps, ensuring to keep your back pressed firmly against the backrest.
Once your legs are fully extended, hold the position for a moment before slowly lowering your legs back to the starting position.
Repeat this motion for the desired number of repetitions, ensuring to maintain control and not letting the weights drop suddenly.
Pro Tip
Don't Rush: It's a common mistake to rush through the movements in an attempt to get more reps. However, it's more beneficial to perform the exercise slowly and with control. This way, you're ensuring that your muscles are fully engaged throughout the exercise, leading to better results. Avoid Pulling Your Neck: While performing the crunch, make sure that you are not pulling on your neck with your hands. Your hands are there to support your head and should not be used to lift your upper body. This can lead to neck strain and detracts from the effectiveness of the exercise on your abs. Engage Your Core: Make sure
