Suspender Supine Crunch
Description
The suspender supine crunch performs crunches lying face-up on the floor with the feet hooked into suspension strap loops. The straps add instability to the standard crunch, forcing the abs and hip flexors to work overtime to control the leg position. It is a strong variation for ab training.
