How to do the TRX Reverse Crunch
Begin by securing your feet in the handles of the suspension trainer, lying face down with your arms supporting your upper body; you should be in a plank position.
Keep your arms straight and strong beneath your shoulders while you brace your core and keep your body in a straight line.
Initiate the movement by bending your knees and driving them toward your chest as far as possible, rounding your lower back upwards and squeezing your abdominal muscles at the top.
Pause for a moment at the top of the crunch, maintaining the tension in your core.
Carefully extend your legs back out to the starting plank position in a controlled manner.
Repeat the movement for the desired number of reps and sets, ensuring that you maintain proper form and control throughout.
Make sure you maintain a stable and controlled motion throughout the exercise to maximize core engagement and reduce the risk of injury. If you are new to this exercise or suspension training, start with a smaller range of motion and fewer sets, gradually building up as you get stronger.
