Oblique Crunches
- 1 - Lie on your back on an exercise mat or the floor with your knees bent and feet flat. Keep your feet hip-width apart and place your hands lightly behind your head, fingers gently supporting your head.
- 2 - Lift your upper body off the ground by contracting your abdominal muscles. Your lower back should remain in contact with the mat.
- 3 - As you crunch, simultaneously twist your torso to one side, bringing your right elbow toward your left knee. This movement engages the right oblique muscle.
- 4 - Focus on contracting the oblique muscle on the side you’re twisting toward.
- 5 - Lower your upper body back to the starting position, keeping your core engaged.
- 6 - Perform the same movement on the opposite side by bringing your left elbow toward your right knee to engage the left oblique muscle.
- 7 - Continue alternating between sides for the desired number of repetitions.
