instructions

Adding standing side crunches to your workout routine helps to target the oblique muscles and tightens the entire side ab wall more effectively. It also improves your balance, increases strength and stability, and burns more calories than side crunches done on a mat.

To get moving:

Start by standing with your feet shoulder-width apart and your arms bent, hands on the back of your head and elbows flared out to the side.

To begin the movement, bend to your right side, bringing your elbow down as you simultaneously bring your right knee up to touch.

Return to your starting position. Repeat the same steps on the left side.
