Cross Body Crunch

This version of the crunch works both the upper and lower portion of the abs.

Steps

1. Lie on your back and bring your knees up to a 60 degree angle, keep your feet flat on the floor.
2. Place your hands behind your head.
3. Curl up raising your right elbow and your left knee so that they touch over your chest. Try to keep your neck in a neutral position during movement.
4. Return to the starting position and repeat with alternate arms and legs.

Note: Contract your abs as you twist during this exercise.

Easier Version: Cross your arms on your chest and do the same movements.
