Reverse crunch on the floor
Seated crunches on a bench serve as an alternative to the traditional seated crunches. Here, you'll find all the essential information regarding the ideal body posture and the optimal execution of the movement.
Body position
For seated crunches on the bench, begin by assuming a seated starting position. Sit at the edge of a bench, gripping it firmly with your hands at the sides. Your legs are directed forward and nearly fully extended. Keep your back straight with a slight backward tilt. Maintain your gaze forward, ensuring that your head doesn't unnaturally tilt to the side.
Movement execution
To initiate seated crunches, pull your knees towards your chest. In the end position, your shins hover parallel to the floor. Simultaneously, straighten your upper body so that it is nearly perpendicular at the end, exhaling consciously. Subsequently, return to the starting position of seated crunches, inhaling deeply.
