Jack Split Crunches
Target Muscle
Secondary Muscles
Equipment
Then, simultaneously lift your arms, legs, and torso off the ground, as if you were doing a traditional crunch, but spread your legs apart into a 'V' shape like you would in a jumping jack.
As you lift your body, try to touch your hands to your toes while keeping your legs in the 'V' shape.
Lower your body back to the starting position, ensuring that your arms and legs are fully extended again.
Repeat this exercise for the desired number of repetitions, making sure to engage your core throughout the entire movement.
Pro Tip
**Controlled Movements**: Avoid rushing through the movements. Each part of the exercise, from the leg split to the crunch, should be done in a controlled manner. This not only ensures that you are engaging the right muscles but also reduces the risk of injury. **Breathing**: Breathe properly during the exercise. Exhale as you lift your legs and torso off the ground, and inhale as you lower them. Proper breathing helps to better engage the core muscles and provides the body with the necessary oxygen to perform the exercise.
