Technik-Tipps
It's a common mistake to pull your neck forward in an attempt to lift your body. This can lead to strain and injury. Instead, keep your neck in a neutral position as you crunch up, and imagine holding an apple under your chin to maintain the right distance.
Avoid rushing through the motions. The effectiveness of crunches comes from slow, controlled movement, not momentum. Lift and lower your body in a steady, controlled manner, focusing on the contraction and release of your abdominal muscles.
Another common mistake is holding your breath during the exercise.
