Opposite Crunch
Legs held straight up, crunch and reach one hand across to the opposite foot, then the other: a cross-body toe touch.
How to do it
Setup
On your back, legs straight up over the hips, arms reaching to the ceiling.
Steps
- Curl up and reach one hand across toward the opposite foot.
- Keep the legs vertical and still.
- Lower the shoulders and reach across with the other hand.
Common mistakes
Legs drifting toward the hands: they stay stacked over the hips. Reaching with the arm alone: the shoulder leaves the floor and turns. Rocking side to side: keep the hips flat on the floor.
Breathing
Exhale on each twist, inhale returning.
