Seated Side-to-Side Leg Raise Crunch on Floor
Seated leaning back on the hands, the legs rise together and cross from one side to the other over an upright dumbbell on the floor.
How to do it
Setup
Seated leaning back on the hands, legs together and straight, a dumbbell stood on end beside the feet as a marker.
Steps
- Lift both legs and carry them over the dumbbell to the other side.
- Touch down lightly beyond it.
- Lift them back over to the first side.
Common mistakes
Kicking the dumbbell: lift the feet clear of it every time. Collapsing onto the elbows: keep the arms straight and the chest up. Swinging the legs with momentum: move them at a pace you control.
Breathing
Exhale lifting, inhale lowering.
