How to perform Bodyweight Oblique Crunch with proper form

Starting Position

  • Lie on your back on the floor.
  • Bend your knees and place your feet flat on the ground.
  • Place your hands behind your head, elbows wide.

Execution

  1. Engage Core: Tighten your abdominal muscles.
  2. Lift Shoulders: Curl your shoulders off the floor towards your right knee.
  3. Twist: As you lift, rotate your torso to bring your left elbow towards your right knee.
  4. Return: Slowly lower back to the starting position without letting your head touch the ground.
  5. Repeat: Alternate sides, bringing your right elbow toward your left knee for the next repetition.

Tips

  • Keep your movements controlled.
  • Avoid pulling on your neck; use your core to lift.
  • Ensure your lower back stays in contact with the floor.
  • Breathe out as you crunch, and breathe in as you return.
