Instructions

Leg-Up Crunch with Bottle Pass

Positioning

  1. Starting Position:

    • Sit on the floor with your legs extended in front of you.

    • Lean back slightly while keeping your back straight.

    • Hold the bottle with both hands at your chest level.

  2. Leg Position:

    • Lift your legs off the ground, keeping them straight and elevated.

    • Your body should form a V shape, with your legs at a 45-degree angle to the floor.

Movement Instructions

  1. Crunching Motion:

    • Engage your core muscles.

    • While holding the bottle, lean slightly backward while also bringing your knees towards your chest.

    • As you move, pass the bottle from your chest to your feet (or maintain it at your chest for further stability).

  2. Returning:

    • Slowly return to the starting V position by extending your legs and back straightening.

    • Do not let your feet touch the ground; keep them elevated throughout the exercise.

  3. Repetitions:

    • Aim for 10-15 repetitions, or as many as you can maintain proper form.

    • Take short breaks between each set if needed.

Tips for Beginners

  • Focus on maintaining a stable core and controlled movements.

  • If the full movement is too challenging, you can modify by bending your knees while keeping feet elevated.

  • Keep your neck relaxed during crunching to avoid strain.
