Drop Centre Crunch

Setup

1. Lie flat on your back on a yoga mat.

2. Extend your legs straight up toward the ceiling.

3. Open your legs into a wide 'V' (straddle) position.

4. Place your hands lightly behind your head for support, keeping elbows wide.

Execution

1. Engage your core and lift your head and upper shoulders off the floor, performing a crunch.

2. Focus on curling your spine rather than just lifting your neck.

3. Keep your legs in the wide position throughout the movement.

4. Lower your upper back back toward the mat with control to return to the starting position.

5. Maintain a steady tempo and ensure lower back remains pressed against the floor throughout.
