Oblique Crossover Crunch Left

Muscles worked: Abs & Core

Oblique Crossover Crunch Left is a diagonal crunch for the left oblique: lying on your back, you lift and twist so your right elbow works toward your left knee.

Twist from your waist and keep the movement slow — the goal is a deliberate rotation, not speed. Keep your lower back on the floor and your neck relaxed, and let the left side of your waist do the turning.

How to do it

1. Lie on your back with your knees bent.
2. Lift and twist so your right elbow works toward your left knee.
3. Twist from your waist and keep the movement slow — the goal is a deliberate rotation, not speed.
4. Keep your lower back on the floor and your neck relaxed.
5. Let the left side of your waist do the turning, then lower back down with control.
