Oblique Crunches Floor

How to perform

To perform oblique crunches, follow these step-by-step instructions:

1. Lie on your back on a mat or towel with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor.
2. Place your hands behind your head, with your elbows pointed out to the sides.
3. Engage your core and lift your head, neck, and shoulders off the floor, twisting your torso to the right as you do so.
4. At the top of the movement, focus on squeezing your right oblique muscles to fully engage them.
5. Lower your upper body back down to the starting position, but do not let your head rest on the floor between repetitions.
6. Repeat the movement, this time twisting your torso to the left to engage the left oblique muscles.
7. Continue alternating sides for your desired number of repetitions or time.

Remember to breathe throughout the exercise and to keep your movements controlled to fully engage your oblique muscles. It's important to avoid pulling on your head or neck with your hands, as this can strain those muscles.

Equipment required

Body Weight
Body weight equipment includes items like resistance bands, stability balls, and suspension trainers. These tools are used for a wide range of exercises that focus on strength training, flexibility, balance, and stability. They are commonly used in bodyweight exercises that utilize the resistance of one's own body to build muscle and improve overall fitness.
