Twist Crunch (Legs-up)

Expert Advice

Keep the movement controlled and focus on using your abs to twist rather than momentum, to maximize engagement of the oblique muscles.

How-to-do Steps

  1. Lie on your back with your hands behind your head and legs raised straight up.
  2. Lift your shoulders off the ground and twist your torso as you bring your right elbow towards your left knee.
  3. Lower back down and then twist to the other side, bringing your left elbow towards your right knee.
  4. Alternate sides for the desired number of repetitions.
