Seated 8 Leg Crunch
Seated and leaning back on the hands, both legs held together trace a figure eight in the air, the knees bending and straightening along the path.
How to do it
Setup
Seated on the floor, leaning back on straight arms, legs together and lifted off the floor.
Steps
- Sweep the legs out to one side and draw them in toward the chest.
- Carry them out to the other side to finish the eight.
- Keep the legs together and the feet off the floor throughout.
Common mistakes
Legs drifting apart: squeeze them together so they move as one. Sinking onto the elbows: stay up on straight arms, the chest lifted. Tracing a tiny eight: sweep wide enough that the sides of the waist work.
Breathing
Steady throughout; never held.
