How to do the suspended reverse crunch
- 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.
- Place your feet into the handles. You should maintain a straight posture, not allowing the hips to sag. This will be your starting position.
- 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.
- At the top of the controlled motion, return to the starting position.
