Standing Side Crunch Elbow to Knee
Expert Advice
Focus on contracting your oblique muscles as you bring your elbow to your knee, and keep the movement controlled to avoid using momentum.
How-to-do Steps
- Stand with your feet hip-width apart and hands behind your head, elbows flared out.
- Shift your weight to your left foot and lift your right knee towards your right elbow while bringing the elbow down towards the knee.
- Touch your elbow to your knee, or get as close as possible, engaging your side abs.
- Return to the starting position and repeat on the other side.
- Alternate sides with each repetition, performing the movement in a controlled manner.
