Resistance Band

The band bicycle crunch is an abdominal exercise that enhances core strength and stability. Using a resistance band for added tension, it engages the obliques and rectus abdominis. This exercise improves core endurance and can aid in developing a toned midsection while also enhancing balance and coordination.

How to do it

  1. Anchor a resistance band around a sturdy post or railing.
  2. Lie on your back, hooking your feet into the band.
  3. Place hands behind your head with elbows out.
  4. Lift your shoulders off the ground, bringing one knee towards your chest while twisting your torso to bring the opposite elbow towards that knee.
  5. Alternate sides in a pedaling motion, maintaining steady and controlled breathing.
