Place your hands behind your head, gently supporting your head with your fingers without pulling.
As you exhale, lift your upper body off the floor and twist your right elbow towards your left knee while keeping your right leg straight on the floor.
Lower your upper body back down on the inhale, returning to the starting position.
Repeat the movement, this time twisting your left elbow towards your right knee, alternating sides for each repetition.
Pro Tip
Controlled Movement: Another key tip is to ensure you are performing the exercise with controlled movements. Avoid the urge to rush through the crunches. Instead, focus on the quality of each rep. The slower you go, the more your abs have to work. Proper Twist: When performing the twist, make sure to rotate from your core, not your hips. The twist should be initiated by the obliques, not by momentum or by moving the hips or shoulders. This is a common mistake that can reduce the effectiveness of the exercise and potentially lead to injury. Breathing: Remember to breathe
