Band Leg Abduction Crunch Instructions
1. Lie on the mat, place a resistance band around both legs and raise the legs toward the ceiling.
2. Lift your shoulders, open the legs and chop your hands through your legs.
3. Lower your torso, close the legs and return to the starting position.
4. Repeat until the set is complete.
Proper Form And Breathing Pattern
Engage your core, keep your neck, head, and back neutral and exhale as you crunch. Spread your legs wide enough that you feel tension across the band and then inhale as you slowly lower your upper body back to the mat and release tension.
