Sitting Side Crunch

Expert Advice

Focus on contracting your oblique muscles during the crunch rather than pulling with your neck or arms.

How-to-do Steps

  1. Sit on the ground with your legs bent and feet flat on the floor.
  2. Lean back slightly and place your hands behind your head.
  3. Lift your feet off the ground slightly for balance.
  4. Crunch to one side, bringing your elbow towards your hip while keeping the other side still.
  5. Return to the center and then crunch to the other side.
  6. Alternate sides for the desired number of repetitions.
