Swiss ball oblique crunch

Proper Position

• Place a Swiss Ball on a stable surface and sit on it.
• Roll slightly forward on the ball until your lower back is supported by the ball.
• Position your feet hip-width apart for stability, and place your hands behind your head or crossed over your chest.
• Lean slightly to engage your core.

Movement

• Slowly rotate your torso to one side, contracting your obliques, until your elbow moves toward the opposite hip.
• Return to the center position, then rotate to the other side to repeat the motion symmetrically.
• Continue alternating sides for the desired number of repetitions.

Breathing

• Inhale as you return to the center.
• Exhale as you twist to one side.

Tips

• Focus on a slow, controlled contraction of the obliques without using momentum.
• Keep your feet firmly planted on the ground to prevent slipping.
• Maintain a slight natural curve in your lower back for added comfort.
