Muscle outlines from Body Muscles by Ivan Vulović, Apache 2.0 — regrouped and recoloured for Muscle Train.
Engage your core, exhale, and curl your torso upward, pulling the band to assist the lift vertebra by vertebra. Rise until upright, keeping feet grounded. Inhale and slowly lower with control, resisting the band. Maintain slight shoulder blade contact with the floor at the bottom. Repeat, focusing on smooth, segmental movement.
Maintain a tight core throughout the entire exercise to stabilize your spine and maximize engagement of your abdominal muscles. Gently tuck your chin towards your chest to help maintain a neutral spine and prevent neck strain during the movement. Focus on curling your spine sequentially, one vertebra at a time, to ensure proper form and target the deep core muscles effectively. Control the descent by resisting the band's pull as you lower your upper body, preventing momentum and maximizing muscle activation. Keep your feet anchored firmly on the ground to provide a stable base and prevent rocking or shifting during the exercise.
