How to do it
Keep your pelvis stacked directly over your heels.
- 1
Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, securing the band overhead on a stable object.
- 2
Hold the band with both hands behind your neck.
- 3
Crunch your abs and bend forward, bringing your chest towards your knees.
- 4
Slowly return to the starting position, keeping tension on your abs.

Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Expert tip
Focus on contracting your abs to pull the band down rather than using your arms to do the work.
