Side Double Elbow Crunch to Arm & Knee Extended
Instructions
Setup
Lie on your side on the mat with your legs fully extended, stacked, and hips aligned.
Extend your bottom arm straight out in front of you on the floor for support.
Place your top hand behind your head for stability and support, keeping your elbow pointed away from your body.
Movement
Simultaneously lift your top leg and your top arm/torso, attempting to bring your hand—or your arm—toward the leg as you crunch your side.
Keep the bottom leg on the mat as an anchor.
Contract your oblique and hip muscles at the peak of the movement when your arm and leg are as close as possible.
Slowly lower back down to the starting position while maintaining control over the movement.
Perform the desired number of repetitions on one side before switching to the other side.
