Side Double Elbow Crunch to Arm & Knee Extended

Setup

• Lie on your side on the mat with your legs fully extended, stacked, and hips aligned.

• Extend your bottom arm straight out in front of you on the floor for support.

• Place your top hand behind your head for stability and support, keeping your elbow pointed away from your body.

Movement

• Simultaneously lift your top leg and your top arm/torso, attempting to bring your hand—or your arm—toward the leg as you crunch your side.

• Keep the bottom leg on the mat as an anchor.

• Contract your oblique and hip muscles at the peak of the movement when your arm and leg are as close as possible.

• Slowly lower back down to the starting position while maintaining control over the movement.

• Perform the desired number of repetitions on one side before switching to the other side.
