Keep your legs bent at the knees with your feet firmly on the ground, ensuring a comfortable distance apart.
Engage your abdominal muscles as you lift your upper body off the ground, reaching your arms towards your knees, but keep them straight and parallel to the ground.
Slowly lower your body back down to the starting position, maintaining control and not allowing your shoulders to fully touch the mat before starting the next repetition.
Repeat this exercise for the desired number of repetitions, ensuring to keep your movements slow and controlled, and your core engaged throughout the exercise.
Pro Tip
Controlled Movements: Avoid rushing through the movement. Instead, perform the exercise slowly and with control. This will help to engage your core muscles more effectively and reduce the risk of injury. Breathing: Remember to breathe in as you lower your body and breathe out as you crunch up. This will help to engage your core muscles more effectively and can make the exercise easier to perform. Avoid Arching Your Back: It's important to keep your lower back flat on the ground throughout the exercise. Arching your back can put strain on your spine and can reduce the effectiveness of the exercise.
