“As for the crunches, there's nothing wrong with anchoring your feet for leverage. It can actually be a good thing since it lets you hold heavy stuff in hand to make the crunches”.
Most people are already overly hunched anyway, and part of why I’m not big on crunches. The only thing bad about anchoring yourself, is that untrained people with poor proprioception, and muscle control usually overuse the hip flexors instead of the rectus, internal obliques, and TVA, and it can cause all kinds of issues very quickly. This is why I like to start people upright or facing the ground first for most “core” stuff. Bird dogs can be beneficial, but you need to have a mirror to lay next to, or at least a camera to watch what you’re doing. Just my humble opinion.
