Side-Lying Forearm Inner-Thigh Leg Lift to Crunch

Setup

1. Lie on your side on a yoga mat.

2. Prop your upper body up, resting on your forearm, with your elbow directly beneath your shoulder.

3. Bend the top leg and place your foot on the floor in front of your bottom leg, which should be extended fully.

4. Ensure your hips are stacked and your core is engaged.

Movement

1. Execution: Lift the bottom, extended leg off the ground while simultaneously bringing your top arm down to meet your knee, creating a crunching motion in your side/obliques.

2. Return: Slowly lower your leg back toward the mat while extending your arm back overhead.

3. Consistency: Focus on a slow, controlled movement rather than using momentum to lift the leg.

4. Engagement: Keep pressure in your forearm to maintain a stable, lifted shoulder position throughout the set.
