Dumbbell Single-Leg Crunch
Elevate your core workout with the Dumbbell Single-Leg Crunch. This weighted movement targets your abs and stability by combining a focused crunch with single-leg resistance for maximum burn.
Instructions
Setup
Lie flat on your back on a yoga mat.
Hold a single dumbbell securely with both hands, arms extended toward the ceiling.
Bend your left knee and place your foot flat on the floor.
Extend your right leg straight up into the air, keeping it slightly raised off the floor or bent at a comfortable angle.
Execution
Engage your core and exhale as you lift your shoulder blades off the floor, curling your torso toward your raised right knee.
Keep your arms extended and the dumbbell positioned above your chest throughout the upward movement.
Squeeze your abdominal muscles at the peak of the crunch.
Inhale as you slowly and with control return your upper back to the mat.
Perform all repetitions on one side before switching to the opposite leg.
