Twisting Air Crunch

1. Lie on your back on a comfortable surface, with your knees bent and feet lifted off the ground in a tabletop position. Place your hands lightly behind your head to support your neck.

2. Engage your core by gently pressing the small of your back towards the floor.

3. Perform a crunch movement by lifting your upper back and shoulders off the ground, and simultaneously twist your torso to bring your right elbow towards your left knee while extending your right leg straight out. Your left leg remains in the tabletop position.

4. Return to the central crunch position with both knees back in the tabletop position and then switch sides. This time, twist to bring your left elbow towards your right knee, extending your left leg out.

5. Continue alternating sides for each repetition, maintaining a smooth and controlled movement throughout the exercise.

6. Breathe out as you lift and twist, and inhale as you return to the central position.

7. Aim for a set number of repetitions or for a specific duration, ensuring to keep the movements fluid and focus on engaging the core and oblique muscles.

Remember to keep the movements controlled and avoid pulling on your neck with your hands; the lift and twist should come from the core muscles. Adjust the number or sets and repetitions according to your fitness level.
