Alternating Technique - Start by sitting down on the floor in an area that will provide enough room to perform the exercise. Lack onto the floor and extend your legs upwards into the air. You will need to keep your legs strong and solid throughout the exercise. Place your hands behind your head and interlace your fingers together. You will be using both sides of your oblique muscles at the same time alternating between the two. Exhale as you crunch yourself forwards twisting your body in one direction until you feel your oblique muscles stretch. Hold this position for a count of 1whilst keeping your legs as straight as possible. Inhale as you lower your upper body back to the starting position in a slow, controlled manner again keeping your legs straight and balanced. Do not allow any longer than a 1 count before repeating this technique twisting your body in the opposite direction. |
Focused Technique - As before start by sitting down on the floor in an area that will provide enough room to perform the exercise. Lay back onto the floor and extend your legs up into the air. Again you will need to keep your legs as straight and as balanced as possible throughout the exercise. As before place your hands behind your head and interlace your fingers together. This time you will be concentrating on one side of your oblique muscles at a time starting with your weaker side first. Exhale as you crunch yourself forwards twisting your body in one direction. Squeeze your abs muscles inwards and hold the position for a count of 1 whilst maintaining control over your legs. Inhale as you lower your upper body back down in a slow, controlled manner again keeping your legs strong and solid not allowing any longer than a 1 count before starting the next rep in the same direction. |
