Ab Exercise With Exercise Bands



Videos |

Exercise bands are also known as resistance bands or stretch bands. They offer flexibility in your workout program because of their portability and because they’re available in a variety of resistance levels. Exercise bands add intensity to your abdominal fitness routine, allowing you to increase the rigor of your exercises as your strength improves. The American College of Sports Medicine suggests exercising at least twice a week for strength conditioning. However, consult with your health care provider before beginning any new fitness program. High crunches practiced with resistance bands target your rectus abdominus, the muscle along the front of your abs, according to SportsInjuryClinic.net. Kneel with your back against a sturdy post or other solid object. Loop the stretch band around the post, level with your head, and grasp the ends of the band in your hands. Tuck in your elbows and contract your abdominal muscles as you crunch forward, pulling the ends of the bands toward your knees. Bring your chest as close to your thighs as possible. Hold, and then slowly return to upright. Repeat the exercise eight to 12 times.
