How to do it

  1. 1

    Lie on the floor with the knees bent and the feet on the floor around 18-24 inches apart. Your arms should be extended by your side. This will be your starting position.

  2. 2

    Crunch over your torso forward and up about 3-4 inches to the right side and touch your right heel as you hold the contraction for a second. Exhale while performing this movement.

  3. 3

    Now go back slowly to the starting position as you inhale.

  4. 4

    Now crunch over your torso forward and up around 3-4 inches to the left side and touch your left heel as you hold the contraction for a second. Exhale while performing this movement and then go back to the starting position as you inhale. Now that both heels have been touched, that is considered 1 repetition.

  5. 5

    Continue alternating sides in this manner until all prescribed repetitions are done.
