Elbow to Knee Side Plank Crunch
Equipment
Ensure your top hand is placed behind your head with your elbow pointing towards the ceiling.
Slowly and carefully, bring your top knee and elbow together in a crunching motion.
Pause for a moment when your knee and elbow meet, then slowly return to the starting position.
Repeat this movement for the desired number of repetitions, then switch to the other side and repeat for balanced strength training.
