Form tips
Avoid rushing through the movements. Each part of the exercise, from the leg split to the crunch, should be done in a controlled manner. This not only ensures that you are engaging the right muscles but also reduces the risk of injury.
Breathe properly during the exercise. Exhale as you lift your legs and torso off the ground, and inhale as you lower them. Proper breathing helps to better engage the core muscles and provides the body with the necessary oxygen to perform the exercise.
