Alternating Technique - 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 raise your knees upwards until your feet are off the floor. Place your hands behind your head and interlace your finger together with your elbows pointing forwards. You will be using both sides of your oblique muscles alternating between the two. Exhale as you crunch yourself forwards twisting your upper body in one direction until you feel your oblique muscles stretch. Hold this position for a count of 1 whilst maintaining your balance. Inhale as you lower yourself back down in a slow, controlled manner straightening your body. Do not allow any longer than a 1 count before repeating this technique again 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. Again lay back onto the floor and raise your knees upwards until your feet are off the floor. As before place your hand behind you head and interlace your fingers together with your elbows pointing forwards. 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 to one side until you feel your oblique muscles stretch. Hold this position for a count of 1 whilst maintaining your balance. Inhale as you lower yourself back down in a slow, controlled manner again whilst maintaining your balance. Do not allow any longer than a 1 count before repeating this technique in the same direction as this will maintain pressure on the oblique muscles. |
