Anchored Bicycle Crunch (Resistance Band)

Also known as: Anchored Bicycle Crunch (Resistance Band).

Supine bicycle crunch against two elastic strands anchored low beyond the feet.

How to perform this exercise

1. Secure the band low to a stable anchor beyond the feet. Fit the ends securely around the forefeet so they cannot slip off.
2. Lie on the back with hands lightly beside the head and long legs just above the floor. Keep the lower back controlled and light tension in the band.
3. Draw one knee toward the torso and rotate the opposite shoulder toward it, keeping the other leg long.
4. Return under control and alternate sides. Do not pull on the neck; shorten the reach if the lower back arches.
