Twist Crunch (Legs Up)
With the legs raised and still, curl up and turn one shoulder toward the opposite knee, alternating sides.
How to do it
Setup
On your back, legs raised with the knees over the hips, hands lightly behind the head.
Steps
- Curl up and turn one shoulder toward the OPPOSITE knee.
- Lower through the middle, legs still.
- Curl and turn to the other side.
Common mistakes
Legs pedaling along: they hold still; the bicycle is another exercise. Turning only the elbow: the shoulder leaves the floor and turns. Knees drifting off the hips: the lower back arches; bring them back.
Breathing
Exhale on each twist, inhale through the middle.
