Position the rope near the sides of your head and engage your core. 4. Crunch your upper body downward towards your knees by contracting your abs. 5. Slowly return to the starting position. 6. Repeat for 12-15 reps per set. 7. Complete 3-4 sets total.Tips:
- Keep your hips stationary and focus on moving only your torso. - Avoid pulling with your arms; focus on engaging your abs. - Breathe out as you crunch down and breathe in as you return to the starting position. - Use a controlled motion to maximize muscle activation.- Level
