The Standing Oblique Crunch is performed by standing upright and then raising your legs sideways. Unlike the standard oblique crunch, it does not involve any pulling motion at your neck and is thus suitable for trainees who had back or neck pain. It also works your core and improves balance.

How to do Standing Oblique Crunch

Keeping your hands at the back of the head, stand with a straight torso in a shoulder-width stance. Initiate the movement by balancing your weight on the right foot, while lifting the left leg out to your side. Bend to the left side so that you lower your elbow and lift the left knee until they both make contact. Straighten your back to go back to the initial position and then repeat.

1. Set the height of the cable pulley above your height. Grab the handle of cable pulley handle with one hand. Move slightly to the side to create tension on the cable. Assume a shoulder width position. 토토사이트추천

3. Return to the starting position by extending the oblique muscle; resist the weight.

4. Once you have completed the targeted number of reps, switch hands and work the other oblique muscle. Perform the exact number of reps.
