How to: Knee Tuck Oblique Crunch
- Lie on your back with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor.
- Place your hands behind your head, elbows wide.
- Engage your core and lift your knees toward your chest while simultaneously curling your upper body towards your knees.
- Hold at the top for a moment, then lower back down with control.
- Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Common Mistakes
- Using momentum instead of muscle engagement.
- Not keeping the lower back pressed against the floor.
- Flaring elbows instead of keeping them in.
Modifications
- Perform the crunch with feet on the ground for a reduced range of motion.
- Use a stability ball for additional support.
Tips
- Engage your core throughout the movement.
- Avoid pulling your neck; use your core to lift your torso.
- Control both the lift and the descent.
