Oblique Crunches On The Floor

This exercise targets the oblique muscles, helping to tone and strengthen the sides of the abdomen.

Instructions

• Lie on your back on a mat with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor.
• Place your hands behind your head, elbows out to the sides.
• Engage your core and lift your shoulder blades off the floor, twisting your torso to one side.
• Return to the starting position and repeat on the opposite side.
• Continue alternating sides for the desired number of reps.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Not engaging the core fully, which can reduce the effectiveness of the exercise.
• Pulling on the neck with the hands, which can cause strain.
• Not keeping the elbows wide, which can limit rotation.
