1 / 2How to
Movement instructions
Begin by lying on your back on the ground. Your legs should be straight and your arms extended behind your head. This will be your starting position.
To perform the movement, tuck the knees toward your chest, rotating your pelvis to lift your glutes from the floor. As you do so, flex the spine, bringing your arms back over your head to perform a simultaneous crunch motion.
After a brief pause, return to the starting position.
Technique guidance
Exhale through the abdominal effort and inhale during the controlled return. Keep the neck relaxed and do not hold your breath.
General guidance based on the exercise and equipment. It is not personal coaching or medical advice.
Your progress
Keep the same exercise variation, range of motion and recording method when comparing Full-Body Tuck Crunch sessions.
Repetitions and completed sets.
Example: 10, 9 and 8 completed reps. Keep each set separate instead of recording only the total.
Compare repetitions using the same variation and range. A different variation needs its own history; extra reps are not directly comparable if the movement changes.
