What makes this exercise particularly effective?
Crunches with a handle strap provide an additional option for targeted abdominal training. The band increases the range of motion, intensifying the exercise, especially at the peak contraction.
What effect does the exercise achieve?
Improved core stability and body control: The required control and balance enhance trunk stability and overall posture.
Customizable intensity & progressive load: Adjusting the position allows you to individually increase the training intensity.
Spine-friendly yet highly effective: Unlike many other core exercises, the controlled movement with the band reduces stress on the spine, especially when performed consciously.
How does this exercise fit into the Big 5 concept?
The Big 5 include the fundamental exercises: squat, deadlift, bench press, pull-up or lat pulldown, and shoulder press. Even though crunches with a resistance band are not part of the classic Big 5 exercises, this variation adds valuable support to your abdominal training.
Transfer to central functions & core: A strong core is essential for stable performance in the Big 5, particularly during hip and trunk movements.
Prolonged tension for functional strength: The constant resistance provided by the band effectively strengthens the core muscles, which is important for dynamic foundational movement patterns.
Efficient and space-saving addition: This exercise is easy to incorporate, especially as a supplement on full-body training days or alongside basic exercises.
