How to do it
5 stepsLie on the floor with the knees bent and the feet on the floor around 18–24 inches apart. Your arms should be extended by your side. This will be your starting position.
Crunch over your torso forward and up about 3–4 inches to the right side and touch your right heel as you hold the contraction for a second. Exhale while performing this movement.
Now go back slowly to the starting position as you inhale.
Now crunch over your torso forward and up around 3–4 inches to the left side and touch your left heel as you hold the contraction for a second. Exhale while performing this movement and then go back to the starting position as you inhale. Now that both heels have been touched, that is considered 1 repetition.
Continue alternating sides in this manner until all prescribed repetitions are done.
