Step by step

How to do the Suspended Reverse Crunch

  1. 1

    Secure a set of suspension straps with the handles hanging about a foot off of the ground. Move yourself into a pushup plank position facing away from the rack.

  2. 2

    Place your feet into the handles. You should maintain a straight posture, not allowing the hips to sag. This will be your starting position.

  3. 3

    Begin the movement by flexing the knees and hips, drawing the knees to your torso. As you do so, anteriorly tilt your pelvis, allowing your spine to flex.

  4. 4

    At the top of the controlled motion, return to the starting position.
