 Exercise 7 of 11  Routine by Michelle M. Freeman. Extended Side Crunch - 20 reps each side Lie on your left side with legs extended, toes pointed, and arms extended overhead with the towel. You should be balancing on your side with your shoulders, hips, and ankles stacked so that your body makes a straight line from head to toe.Inhale and stretch your body as long as you can. As you exhale, shift your weight back slightly into your left ‘cheek,’ lifting your legs off the floor and slightly in front of you while crunching through the right side of your torso. Inhale again and lower back into your starting stretch position.That’s one rep.Do 20 repetitions on your left side, 20 on the right.
Note: This move looks easy, but it can be very challenging to control. Start slowly and focus on using your abdominals to help lift your legs. If it’s too tough to lift your legs, just focus on the crunch through the top side of your body.
