Guided Instructions
Setup
Lie flat on your back with your knees bent and feet planted firmly on the floor, hip-width apart. Place your hands lightly behind your head, elbows wide, and keep your chin slightly tucked to avoid neck strain.
Movement
Engage your core by pulling your belly button toward your spine. Lift your shoulder blades off the ground while keeping your lower back pressed against the floor. Exhale as you crunch upward, focusing on tightening your abs rather than pulling your neck.
Return
Slowly lower your shoulders back to the mat with control—don’t let them drop. Inhale as you descend to prepare for the next repetition.
Form Tip
Avoid pulling on your neck or using momentum. The power should come directly from your abdominal contraction. Keep your movements steady and intentional for maximum effectiveness.
Trainer Insight
Crunches may look simple, but mastering control and breathing makes all the difference. Feel each squeeze and release to engage your abs fully. Consistency is the key to sculpting a strong, defined core.
