Dumbbell Starfish Crunch (beginner)

Expert Advice

Keep your movements controlled and focus on using your abs to lift your torso and arm rather than relying on momentum.

How-to-do Steps

  1. Lie flat on your back with arms and legs spread out in an 'X' shape, holding a dumbbell in your right hand.
  2. As you exhale, raise your right hand and left leg to meet above your torso, performing a crunch.
  3. Inhale as you slowly lower back down to the starting position.
  4. Repeat on the opposite side, alternating for the desired number of repetitions.
