Crunchy Frog on Floor
Target Muscle
Secondary Muscles
Equipment
Lean back slightly, engaging your core, and lift your feet off the ground, bringing your knees towards your chest, while simultaneously bringing your arms out to the sides and then forward as if you're hugging your knees.
Extend your legs out straight in front of you and open your arms out to the sides at the same time, keeping your feet off the ground to maintain core engagement.
Bring your knees back into your chest and your arms forward again, returning to the "hugging" position.
Repeat this open and close motion for your desired number of repetitions, making sure to maintain control and engage your core throughout the exercise.
Pro Tip
**Controlled Movements**: Avoid rushing through the movements. It's not about how many you can do, but how well you can do them. Make sure each movement is controlled and deliberate. When you crunch up, pause for a moment before slowly lowering back down. This will work your muscles more effectively and reduce the risk of injury. **Breathing**: Proper breathing is crucial for this exercise. Inhale when you are in the starting position and exhale as you crunch up. This will help you engage your core more effectively and prevent you from getting light-headed
