Side Crunch

Target Muscles

Internal and external obliques, rectus abdominis.

Starting Position

  • Lie on the floor or on an abdominal bench on your side with your knees slightly bent.
  • Place your top arm behind your head.

The Movement

  • Slowly exhale as you raise your head and shoulders a short distance off the floor or bench, aiming your ribs towards your top hip.
  • Hold for a count of two; then breathe in as you return to the starting position.
  • Repeat for the required number of repetitions; then perform the exercise on your other side.

Tips

  • Aim to reduce the space between your ribs and hips.
  • Do not worry if you don't reach up very far - concentrate on feeling the movement.
  • Keep your head in line with your body ­ don't jerk it upwards.
