Instructions

Setup

  • Lie flat on your back on a exercise mat.

  • Keep one knee bent with your foot flat on the floor.

  • Extend the opposite leg straight out, hovering slightly above or just touching the mat.

Execution

  • Engage your core to lift your shoulders and upper back off the floor, performing a crunch.

  • Simultaneously, lift the extended leg up toward your chest while reaching your arms toward your toes or shin.

  • Pause at the top of the movement, squeezing your abdominals.

  • Slowly lower your torso and return to the starting position without letting the extended leg touch the ground.

  • Repeat for the desired number of repetitions, then switch to the other side.
