Standing Abs Crunch With Bands
Area Targeted: Middle Abs
Standing Abs Crunch with Tube Bands is an alternative to the Lying Resisted Crunch. This exercise is a bit awkward as you basically fold your body down on itself against the tension, bringing your Rib Cage towards your pelvis. Regardless it can be a great option to mix up your routine and keep it fresh.
