How to: Floor Twisting Crunch Feet on Bench
- Lie on your back on a bench with your feet elevated on the bench, knees bent at a 90-degree angle.
- Place your hands behind your head, elbows out.
- Engage your core and lift your torso towards your knees while twisting to bring your elbow towards the opposite knee.
- Lower back down and repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Common Mistakes
- Pulling on the neck during the crunch.
- Using back muscles instead of core muscles to lift.
- Not twisting enough to effectively engage the obliques.
Modifications
- Perform without twisting for a gentler core challenge.
- Use a stability ball for added support.
Tips
- Keep your movements controlled to maximize core engagement.
- Do not yank on your neck; instead, support your head with your hands.
- Engage your core fully to prevent straining your back.
