The crunch is a classic exercise for training the abdominal muscles. The lateral crunch mainly trains the lateral abdominal muscles (obliquus abdominis).
Lie on your back on the floor and turn onto your left side. Place your legs on the floor on your left side and keep them slightly bent. Place your hands behind your head.
2
Bend your upper body sideways towards your right hip by tensing your right lateral abdominal muscles. Exhale as you do this.
3
Slowly lower your upper body back to the starting position. Keep your lateral abdominal muscles tensed even in the lowest position. Breathe in as you do so.
4
One repetition has now been completed. Repeat this process for the specified number of repetitions, first with your right side and then with your left side.
Tip
Your lower back is in contact with the floor throughout the exercise. Do not rest your head on the floor in the lowest position. Your lateral abdominal muscles are tensed throughout the exercise. Make sure that you round your spine to the side.
