Conseils techniques
When performing the crunch, bring your top elbow and knee together in a controlled manner. Avoid rushing the movement as this could lead to injury and reduces the effectiveness of the exercise.
Remember to keep your core engaged throughout the entire exercise. This not only helps to maintain balance but also maximizes the benefits of the crunch.
A common mistake is letting your hips sag during the exercise. To avoid this, actively push your hips up using your core and glute muscles. This will also help to engage the correct muscles and increase the efficiency of the workout.
