How to do reverse crunches when your core isn’t strong enough to do the standard version?
Here’s an option:
Lie on your back with legs extended and hands behind your head.
Slide your heels in toward your butt while you curl your head and shoulders up away from the floor.
When you can’t slide your heels in anymore, lift your feet and move your knees toward your elbows.
Slowly uncurl and re-extend your legs, coming out of the crunch the way you came in, just in reverse.
As a fun bonus, your core will work just as hard in this version because you’re moving more slowly and with more control than you might in the standard version.

I taught this to one of my students in one of my live classes for my online studio MOVE this week.
She’s somewhat deconditioned from a few years of dealing with a whole host of illnesses.
As a result, she could not keep her legs away from the floor the entire time while doing reverse crunches.
I shared this variation with her to make her movement practice more accessible.

That’s one of the benefits of showing up to live classes.
Yes, pre-recorded practices are a fantastic option but if you can come to a live class, you’ll get more direct support and movement guidance tailored specifically to your needs.
