HOW TO DO CROSS CRUNCH
CROSS CRUNCH OR SIDE OBLIQUE CRUNCH
Is a well-known abdominal exercise designed to focus on both the obliques and rectus abdominis. This exercise incorporates a twisting motion that effectively engages and fortifies the oblique muscles, crucial for torso rotation and stabilization.
HOW TO PERFORM:
Lie on the mat with your knees bent, feet straight, and hands positioned in front of your head.
Activate your core muscles, lifting your elbows and upper back slightly off the floor. Twist your torso to the left, bringing your left elbow closer to your right knee.
Pause for a moment, then gradually lower your upper body to the floor, maintaining control through your core muscles.
SIDE OBLIQUE CRUNCH BENEFITS
Side oblique crunches predominantly target the obliques and rectus abdominis, the muscles responsible for the coveted "six-pack" appearance. By engaging these muscle groups, this exercise contributes to the strengthening and toning of your core, enhancing overall stability and strength.
The rotational movement involved in side oblique crunches promotes increased flexibility and mobility in the spine, particularly in the lower back. Regular inclusion of side oblique crunches in your workout regimen can aid in the development of well-defined abdominal muscles, particularly the rectus abdominis.
