Oblique Crunches

An exercise targeting the oblique muscles for better core stability.

Instructions

• Lie down on your back with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor.
• Place your hands behind your head, elbows pointing out.
• Lift your shoulder blades off the ground and twist your torso to the right.
• Engage your obliques as you reach your left elbow towards your right knee.
• Return to the starting position and repeat on the other side.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Pulling on the neck instead of using the core muscles.
• Not fully engaging the obliques during the twist.
• Using momentum rather than controlled movements.
