How to: Seated Side to Side Leg Raise Crunch on Floor
- Sit on the floor with your knees bent and feet flat on the ground.
- Lean back slightly while keeping your back straight.
- Raise one leg to the side while simultaneously crunching toward that side.
- Return to the starting position and repeat on the other side.
- Continue alternating sides for the desired number of repetitions.
Common Mistakes
- Curving the back instead of keeping it flat.
- Not engaging the core enough.
- Pushing the legs too high, which can strain the hip flexors.
Modifications
- Bend your knees while performing the exercise for added support.
- Perform the exercise without leg raises to focus on core crunching.
Tips
- Keep your lower back pressed into the floor during the exercise.
- Control the movement and avoid using momentum to swing your legs.
- Focus on using your abdominal muscles to lift rather than straining your neck.
